Bigger 4A/7A oil filter

**Billzilla** · 08-09-2008, 07:49 PM

I popped into Toyota today to look for a bigger oil filter for the Suzuki engine in my racing car, (have been using a 4AGE/3SGTE one) and the guy behind the counter came out with a 1UZ one. It fits the Suzuki engine neatly, and out of curiosity I measured it up against the 7A block I have downstairs and I reckon it'll just fit. The o-ring will be right up against the outer edge of the mounting surface on the block, but I reckon it'll fit.
I measured the 4AGE filter and the 1UZ one, and the 1UZ one is about 48% larger in volume. The part number is 90915-YZZD4.
Thought some might find that of interest, if you're chasing a little less restriction and better filtering.

i sue the D2/D4 filters on my hilux and was planning to start using them on my 4ag once i install the new oil cooler/filter felocation plate as it'll happily take a bigger filter although it must be a pretty tight fit onto the 4a mount.

You can also ask for a YZZE2. It is the same diameter as the standard filter (YZZE1) but is longer. Used on Camry's etc.

wrong.... the E2 is the correct filter for 4age/4agze engines.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'll have to check that out.... I wonder if the mocal adapter is wide enough?

This might have to be merged with the cross compatibility thread..............

Here's a couple of photos for comparison.

I've used the early Ford V8 filters on most of the Toyota engines I've had.
Anti drain back "valve" & 1 quart capacity

...just check the thread pitch & O ring dia in the catalog to be sure.

Hi Bill...been a long time
