Toyota 4Runner OEM Metal Oil Filter Housing Upgrade - 5th Gen Mod

Upgrading to the OEM metal oil filter housing is inexpensive and very simple to do. In this video I’ll show you how I did it to my 4Runner. The only real “mod” that needs to be done is to swap the filter tube from the old plastic housing into the new.

Good info. The only part you missed is you need to lube the o-rings to avoid warping or breaking the o-rings when tightening.

@wb4514 Жыл бұрын

I've watched a ton of these how to videos and you are the only one that installed the lower O ring and cap onto the filter housing while it's on the bench.

@njackson18 Ай бұрын

Yeah and thats why his was leaking. the lower O ring never leaks unless it's not torqued to 9 ft lbs. it's easier and more accurate to do it on the car.

@lsantamaria1545 Жыл бұрын

Good video. I was always wondering about the tabs from other videos and thought it was the four small ones inside of the housing that had to get bend but you did an awesome job of showing and explaining which ones to bend.

Great info. Thank you. I always lube the o-rings with oil.

@ranger178 7 ай бұрын

the last number at end for filter is the size of filter. you should be able to buy the model filter housing with right length tube for your model vehicle, so you don't have to switch it that tube acts as the bypass valve, so it has to be the right length. I like to put silicone grease on the threads and very end of housing and the o rings they recommend oil. so, they don't get stuck, but the most important thing is these housings barely need to be tightened the seal is not at end so even loose it won't leak.

@caseroj6020 Жыл бұрын

I just purchased that same part for my 2016 4Runner. I went looking for a youtube video that showed how to swap out the metal tubes and found this one. Swapping the tube is really simple once you know how. Thanks for sharing.

@gerardgunhouse397 4 ай бұрын

D is the best Toyota/ Lexus mechanic with his online instructions. He specifically states not to modify or change the center pipe on the oil canisters. In doing so it will damage the oil bypass spring.Toyota should have a metal oem canister available specifically designed for the 4Runner

Great video, I did this mod 2 years ago and am very happy with the metal housing, the plastic one is so brittle and easy to crack, the aluminum housing is much more sturdy and gives some piece of mind

Peace of mind alone is enough reason to do this.

@Gebomartin215 Жыл бұрын

I don’t feel good about swapping the tubes. Don’t want to affect my bypass pressure and potentially end up with a lot of my oil bypassing the filter and prematurely wearing out my engine. I just keep a spare “plastic” housing on hand.

You are correct. Why mess with the plastic housing when it was engineered and it works. I would just hope nothing goes wrong with the metal post and damage the engine. The car nut guy had an episode regarding the tampering swapping out the metal post. Not recommended.

@squirelova1815 Жыл бұрын

Even though the original plastic housings are supposed to be extremely tough, sometimes they aren't tough enough to survive having the O-Rings reinstalled without lubrication or put on incorrectly out of their groove or the canister being tragically over tightened by uncaring gorillas and then having to be really brutalized at the next oil change interval, with breaker bars and such, just to then get them off, which often cracks them that way too. Toyota should have given us the aluminum metal ones as factory issue to begin with if they wanted us have half a chance in avoiding a potential oil leak disaster but, Hey, not Toyota's problem I guess, right?

I have done this and so far running great. But not sure on the longevity as the locked tab is broken now for the standing tube. According to toyota experts, the housing is no good after that.

@ryanm4013 Жыл бұрын

My housing has lasted over 8 years. I wouldn’t bet my life that the plastic one would last that long!

@bklynjoe96 Жыл бұрын

@@ryanm4013 I think the reason they say that is more geared towards the bypass relief valve not functioning properly once you break the tabs. The valve is calibrated at a specific psi to open in case the oil needs to bypass the filter in an emergency but once you do this mod, they say you risk messing it up. I haven't researched this in depth but came across it in the car care nuts video. He is a Toyota Master Technician for over 10 years. I'm not saying he's right or wrong I'm saying that's the reason I heard and I want to research it more.

@bklynjoe96 Жыл бұрын

@Paul Haven't removed it myself yet but the price of a housing is way cheaper than the cost of an engine that is short lived because of dysfunctional bypass function. From what I'm seeing, many are saying it gets the way you described because many over torque the plastic housing. I can't tell you one way or the other, in 700+ miles this will be literally my first oil change. It was covered for 2 years under Toyota but now it's time for me to maintain my baby myself.

@silverrunner8687 Жыл бұрын

Watch the Car Care Nut video. If you do changes properly (yourself or tech) no reason to swap to aluminum housing. And - maybe- after bending the tabs nothing happens but you’ve compromised those tabs regardless. Seems like a good mod to do but sometimes the engineers do know what they are doing :)

@jimm3322 Жыл бұрын

I agree with @silverrunner8… and as per CarCareNut, I’ve gone back to using the OEM plastic. I don’t want to risk the bypass valve not working if it’s needed.

What is the extra metal clip on the old plastic housing for?

@ranger178 7 ай бұрын

that keeps it from unscrewing it seals on the side with o ring not at end, so you are supposed to just barely tighten it they won't leak if it is not crazy tight. everyone way overtightens them like filters with seal on end of filter.

@brassferret7511 5 ай бұрын

I have wondered the very same thing. While I truly don't know the answer, I respectfully doubt that its function is to somehow prevent the filter housing from unscrewing. If that were true, wouldn't the aluminum filter housing have one, too? I honestly don't know what purpose the little dingus serves, but I don't think there's a snowball's chance in a hailstorm that the metal-clip-dingus-thingy is going to prevent the filter housing from unscrewing. That said, I'd love to be enlightened about the matter. If anybody out there knows the actual role of that clip, I'd be genuinely grateful if you'd set me straight on the matter.

@b.m.c.8755 8 ай бұрын

The 2022 & 2023 4Runner oil filter lock tab on the plastic housing doesn’t go past the alignment protrusion. It’s clocked 1/4 spin before the lock tab and stops. Make sure you lubricate the large O-Ring and it’s in the proper spot per oil filter box to avoid pinching. Spin the filter housing using the cup tool and 8” ratchet until it nearly bottoms and then a slight slow snug. Memorize the mark and paint it with a glowing nail polish for future reference stop point. Add 6.5 qt of engine oil and run for 5 minutes to check for leak on the filter housing of oil leak before putting back the gravel shield.

@plains1378 8 ай бұрын

First, you never answered the question, what is the torque spec. Second, I have a 2020 4Runner. Thank you.

@b.m.c.8755 8 ай бұрын

There is no torque spec. On the plastic housing for me and it will bottom out and stop; no need to put in any additional strain on the housing as it will stress the threads. With the new O-ring installed and lubricated it’s pretty hard to remove it 5 months down line and trust me it will never back out. I been spinning wrenches for over 3 decades professionally and it’s called finger power. 2014-2023 all the same. I’ve owned 3, 5th Gen 4Runners from new and have done over 60 oil changes. I just searched google and it says: “Nov 6, 2019 - 18 ft lb for the housing, 9 ft lb for the drain on the bottom of the housing.”
