Toyota Diesel Oil Filter 1HZ 1HD-T 1HD-FT 1KZ-TE 2L 2L-T 3L 5L 90915-30002

• Twin Element Design: Advanced dual filtration system provides superior contamination removal for demanding diesel applications
• Integrated Safety Valves: Built-in 1.0 bar bypass valve prevents oil starvation during cold starts, and anti-drain back valve retains oil in critical engine components
• Genuine Toyota Quality: Engineered to meet Toyota's stringent specifications with precision-manufactured metal construction and OEM-grade filtration media
• Extended Engine Life: Superior filtration protects critical diesel engine components from wear-causing contaminants and soot buildup
• Universal Diesel Compatibility: Fits the entire range of Toyota diesel engines from legendary 2L family through modern 1KZ-TE turbo diesel platforms

Q: What's included in the package?
A: One (1) genuine Toyota oil filter 90915-30002 with integrated gasket and all internal valve components. Oil drain plug, gasket, and engine oil sold separately.

Q: How difficult is installation?
A: Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable performing basic maintenance. The filter is easily accessible on most applications and requires only a standard oil filter wrench. Allow 15-30 minutes for a complete oil and filter change. The integrated gasket eliminates the need for separate seal installation.

Q: What makes this filter different from standard automotive oil filters?
A: This genuine Toyota filter features twin element design specifically engineered for diesel engine requirements. The dual filtration media provides superior soot handling capacity essential for diesel operation, while the 1.0 bar bypass valve and anti-drain back valve protect critical engine components during cold starts and extended periods between operations.

Q: Can I use aftermarket filters instead of genuine Toyota?
A: While aftermarket options exist, genuine Toyota filters are engineered to exact OEM specifications for your diesel engine. The twin element design, specific bypass valve pressure, and anti-drain back valve characteristics are critical for proper diesel engine protection. Aftermarket filters may not meet Toyota's stringent filtration efficiency and durability standards.

Q: Will this filter fit both early and late model diesel engines?
A: Yes, the 90915-30002 provides universal compatibility across Toyota's diesel engine families from 1983 to 2009 applications. However, always verify your specific engine uses the M24x1.5 thread specification, as some later models transitioned to different filter designs.

Related Toyota Parts You May Need

• Engine Oil (Diesel Specification) - Use Toyota-recommended 15W-40 or synthetic diesel oil meeting API CJ-4 or newer specifications
• Oil Drain Plug Gasket - Replace crush washer at every oil change to prevent leaks
• Fuel Filter - Should be replaced on same maintenance schedule as oil filter for optimal diesel performance
• Air Filter - Clean air filtration critical for diesel engine longevity and performance

Installation Difficulty: Beginner to Intermediate
Tools Required: Oil filter wrench (100mm capacity), oil drain pan, clean rags, torque wrench (optional)
Professional Installation: Not required - suitable for DIY maintenance with proper tools

Maintenance Tips:

• Clean filter mounting surface thoroughly before installation and ensure no old gasket material remains
• Apply thin film of clean engine oil to new filter gasket before installation for proper sealing
• Hand-tighten filter until gasket contacts mounting surface, then rotate an additional 3/4 turn (do not over-tighten)
• Check for leaks after running the engine for 3-5 minutes and retighten if necessary
• Follow Toyota's recommended oil change intervals - typically 5,000-7,500 miles for diesel engines under normal conditions
• Consider shorter intervals for severe duty applications, including towing, dusty conditions, or frequent short trips

Common Symptoms of Overdue Oil Filter Replacement

• Decreased oil pressure at idle or during operation (bypass valve opening due to restriction)
• Engine oil turns black quickly after an oil change (saturated filter unable to remove contaminants)
• Unusual engine noise during cold starts (anti-drain back valve failure, allowing oil to drain from passages)
• Excessive diesel engine smoking or reduced fuel economy (contaminated oil affecting combustion efficiency)
• Metallic particles in used oil indicate inadequate filtration and component wear
