    Finally got the time to install the spin-on external filter! Only took 20 minutes total. 4 bolts! I didn't use the O-rings that came in the package because they weren't as thick as the ones already installed. Very happy to not have to monkey with that plastic housing set up. I have attached photos. I just rolled up on my ramps. Did not have to remove the passenger side tire, although if you want to you can.

    Dear Montgomery:

    Could you provide the brand/model of the adaptor you installed?
    Were you able to determine if the specifications of the spin-on filter media met the specs of the original cartridge?
    Do you know if the new spin-on adaptor increased the required volume of oil?
    Thanks

    You can google "15609-0T060" and the bracket will come up. It is a standard Toyota Part so it is not an aftermarket part. Not sure about filter increasing oil volume, but I put in an extra quarter of one quart just to be safe. I will watch dip stick for any changes.

    O-rings part number is 96723-24020
    Union Stud part number is 90904-04006
    Toyota Filter is- 90915-YZZF2
    Fram Filter is- PH4386
    Fram Extra Filter is- PH4967
    Purolator Filter is- L14476

    For complete instructions including color photos on doing this:

    The 2016+ Toyota 2zr Engine oil filter conversion - Armstrong Family Blog


    Pricing varies as you have to order from a Dealer. I have seen them on ebay and other places, but when it comes to something like this, I'm going to buy from the Dealer. Bracket was $79.80, Union bolt was $11.76 and O-rings were $2.46.

They took my 9 year old black paint and made it look better then new! Amazing work and my ride would never have looked as good without their expert detailing service and paint correction!! Thank you, thank you!!
