Can't remember where I saw this, but in one of the Prius forums someone mentioned this site:

www.toyotapartsdelivered.com

Price was $31.53 for 10 filters plus $8.00 shipping. Can't remember whether they sell drain plug gaskets. I haven't bought from them, but I made myself a note to try them as I approach my next oil change (unless something better comes along in the meantime).

I will have to search my e-mail but one of the Toyota Dealers online sold the filter and included the plug gasket for free... I bought 5 at the time and still have two left maybe... I carry on in the car at all times... I can get moble one anywhere but not that filter...

Here is the website of one of the Toyota dealers where you can order a case of 10 oil filters online for $39.90 with no shipping charges (drain plug gaskets not included):

Toyota of Dallas Parts Order

Use the 'Search' tab with either the part name or number.

You can also order individual filters for $3.70/ea, but you must then also pay the exorbitant shipping charges.

Prius specifications call for Toyota oil filter part # 90915-YZZF2. However, consider ordering Toyota part # 90915-YZZF1, instead. It is the same price and diameter, but is slightly longer (about an 1"), making it easier to get hold of and it holds a bit more oil (which will help alleviate the oil capacity 'issue' somewhat). It's the oil filter some Prius owners use (myself included).

The only reasons I can think of why Toyota might use these shorter filters is cost (they might be a fraction of a cent cheaper to make) and/or clearance. A filter that sticks out around an inch longer would be more susceptable to damage, particularly on a car without much ground clearance. However, it doesn't seem to stick out that far, to me, so I'm not concerned.

TRDparts4U also sells a case of 10 OEM filters for pennies under $40 (free shipping) and 10 gaskets for $8.

Can anyone verify that the 90915-YZZF1 is a direct replacement for the 90915-YZZF2 (except for the length, of course)? Same opening pressure for the bypass, etc.?

I think I have some of them left over from my last car.

Thanks!
