Visited Toyota Dealership for stuffs.

I Went to the Toyota dealership today and asked for the oil filter for the 2003 Camry I4 and the guy handed me a rather small filter( I have never done an oil change before but I would imagine the filter to be bigger than that). I was also planning to do one on my father 1992 Corolla I4 as well and he said that they both use the same oil filter. Is this true? I also bought a 65MMx14 Flutes oil filter wrench to help make the oil changing process much easier. But man 2 oil filter washer cost $3.16. The Oil filter number is 90915-YZZF2 and I noticed that it is already pre-oil around the rubber ring. Could someone verify this?

Should I go with Mobil 1 synthetic oil for my 03 Camry? The car has 69,000 miles on it and I am afraid that the synthetic will caused leakage.

i don't know about the oil filter.

But 69,000miles is hardly even broken in lol...i put Mobil 1 in mine and it had 98k miles.

As long as the service man check the part number and match the filter with your car, then it should fit.

on my camry, i use the same oil filter on my tacoma and 1992 ls400,

synthetic will not cause any leakage!

I'm on 80k and I just switched to synthetic
Runs like a champ!

Run what ever you like as far as oil goes. I have used Mobil 1 for years and have moved some of my used cars with 70,000 miles+ from dino to synthetic oil. For the aluminum crush washer, go to advance auto or other parts store and buy a blister pack of them. I keep M12 and M14 washers in stock for our cars.

One last thing, pre-oiled or not I always lube the oil filter seal before installing it. It just gives me a little extra piece of mind.

the oem filter for the camry comes in both the F1 and F2 guise...the F1 is a taller filter, and thus holds more oil, and thats the one that i use...theyre what is reccomended by toyota for the I4 camry, but since the F1 and F2 have the same base fitament, theyre interchangable so you could use either one on a camry/corolla/anything with a 4cyl....its your choice to use whichever one you like...just request the tall F1 filter next time...not all dealerships stock both, so be alert and aware of your dealership's stock

i switched to mobil 1 at 39k, and no issues at all...the car does seep a tiny bit of oil from the valve cover, but thats because the less viscous composition of the synthetic oil...it may cause a tiny bit of seepage, but no major leaks...my car gets the full return of 4.2qts every 3-3.5k, and im now at 70k
