Cracked my oil filter need part #

The previous owner must have over torqued it. I had to use a impact gun to take it off. Didn't realize I cracked till I finish.


Anyone know the part number for this? It's a 2021 SR5. Need to get the truck running by tomorrow for work

 

not sure on the original plastic one
The aluminum one is 15620-31060

You do have to swap the perforated center tube if you get the AL one.

 

Ty! This is one of the messiest and most complicated oil changes I have ever done.

 

If it's consolation I've done it as well. 15620
The aluminum one I had leaked like a siv and I went back to plastic. Just a heads up

 

Might have positioned the O ring incorrectly

 

What ft/lbs did you torque it to when you reinstalled?

 

25lbs for oil filter housing and 9lbs for the oil filter housing drain plug.

 

25lb-ft is not correct. I think you mixed up the units.


Spec is 18lb-ft (which is 25Nm) for the housing.

 

Thanks for the correction, I will update my notes

I wish I had seen this before I changed my oil. This is my 5th Toyota product. First time seeing this stupid plastic filter housing

 

Busted one of the teeth off the housing. I didn't think anything of it until I started the truck up and oil went spraying everywhere.

 

A fumoto valve, motivx oil filter wrench and an oil filter drain tool (

Local parts store will carry the aluminum Dorman one. I've seen those leak from the get go due to bad tolerances. Avoid them.

If you're in a pinch, go pay the dealer for a replacement plastic. Or pay the dealer mark up for the OEM aluminum one. They'll say it won't fit your 5.7. Buy it and swap the inner tube.

 

I vote OEM aluminum if time permits. I swapped mine out recently and haven’t had any issues.

Both have been fantastic investments!

 

Torqueing plug is some serious OCD. Just snug it up. I don't torque either 1.

 

+1 on the MotivX tools. I have a fumoto drain valve on my wife's car, but on my Tundra, I have this one and I prefer it.

I also don't torque either one, I just had those numbers in my notes, and one of them was wrong apparently.

 

And keep your eyes peeled for the rare Jowett engine oil filter cap.
