Oil FIlter Type on 2022

ToyotaCare doesn't change your oil until 10k. Review your Maintenance manual.

 

They have been spin on filters since mid 2017. As @RRxing says, the first scheduled oil change is at 10k miles.

Toyota's filters are good quality and reasonably priced. You could just go to the parts counter. If you want to go to a parts store, they all have books hanging by the filter section that tell you which model of which air and oil filter goes with which car. The Prius and Prius Prime will all be the same air and oil filter from 2018 on.

 

I did the spin-on conversion on our 2010. The part number for the spin-on is:

90915-YZZN1

FYI, you can log onto online Toyota parts sites, find this out quite easily. McGeorge Toyota Parts, Amayama, Toyota Parts Online, to name a few. Here's a link to the latter:

Or: show up at a Toyota Parts Department, tell them you need the oil filter for your car.

 

Yes - Always use a new washer. It's good practice and cheap piece of mind.

Impossible to determine what Toyota or any other mechanics do/don't do concerning the washer. I do my own oil changes so I know it's done right every time.

BTW, the torque spec for the drain plug is 27 ft-lb.

 

Sometimes they come off with the plug and sometimes not. If it sticks to the pan, a small screwdriver will pop it right off. I always install a new crush washer at home and at work. Once it's been crushed, it is harder to crush again. They don't spring back.

 

I just picked up the oil, filter and gasket at the dealership the other day for my 2022 Nightshade:
Filter 90915-YZZN1 ($5.41) (spin on type).
Gasket 90430-12031 (1.13)
Oil 0w-16 ($7.83/qt)
I’m like you doing my first oil change very early (by some) at around 1000 miles (old school idea of getting the break in oil out).
Also went with 0w-16 to meet the ILSAC GF-6B spec per the manual.
Hardest part was finding a floor jack that would get under the 5.1 inches of clearance and I picked up a 64mm filter wrench at the parts store.

 

Low rise ramps help, with the waaay back front/central jacking point; get the car up 3~4 inches. Without that lift, and with the propensity for floor jacks these days to start their stroke on an angle, it can be necessity..



^ I cobbled these out of 2x4’s on edge with through bolts, though something similar out of 2x8 or 2x10 on flat would be easier to build.

they’re ramped at both ends, which is not strictly necessary, increases the length, but has some advantages.

 

Yep! Spent some time yesterday reading some of your posts on how to get it up safely. Headed to the home center to pick up some 2x8’s or 10’s this afternoon to make a small one. Found a floor jack that’s less than 6 inches high to make it easier too!
You have been a wealth of information for me and I truly thank you, Mendel Leisk!

 

Here's what I made. Very quick and easy. My Prime, BTW, is even lower than a regular Prius at 4.8".

No inside info, but I really doubt it. My 2 cents: wait till 5k.

 

I’ll let you know in a day or so. Have to wait for the jack stands and pads from Amazon (one of the many “joys” of living in Sterling, Il. “We don’t have it but can order it for you”: duh, so can I!

 

Yep! Been learning a lot from your posts too! Thank You. Got the wood, now I have to set the saw up!

 

The Owner’s Manual specifically states they can’t and won’t do that as long as you meet minimum requirements (thus my use of their filter and oil). I keep the receipts just to prove that (even though they say you don’t have to). Personally, I’d LOVE to have them try to deny a warranty claim on that basis: guaranteed new, top level Toyotas for my generation and a few more to follow! .
Especially considering an oil change a lot earlier than required. Check out The Car Care Nut YouTube channel (until VERY recently a Toyota Tech, when he opened his own business). He actually recommends the 1000 mile oil change (with Toyota’s recommended oil).

 

Here’s 4th gen oil change info from Repair Manual. They show both filter types, and ramble on about the older style.

 

The factory filter listed above is the only one I use.
