The 2006 Toyota Tundra does not have a single oil filter part number; the correct filter depends on the engine under the hood. In practice, most 2006 Tundras used one of two Toyota-approved filters corresponding to the engine: a 4.0-liter V6 and a 4.7-liter V8. Below are the typical OEM numbers and how to verify yours.
Engine options and corresponding oil filter numbers
4.0L V6 (1GR-FE)
For the 4.0-liter V6 engine commonly found in the 2006 Tundra, Toyota's OEM oil filter is typically part number 04152-YZZA. This filter is used by many 4.0L Toyota engines, but you should confirm by checking the existing filter or the service manual for your exact build.
To verify, compare the filter canister size and thread pattern or check the vehicle's VIN plate or the owner’s manual. If your filter does not match 04152-YZZA, consult the dealership or the official Toyota parts catalog for your VIN.
4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE)
For the 4.7-liter V8 engine, another option is the OEM filter number 90915-YZZD (sometimes listed as 90915-YZZC depending on production batch). This is the standard Toyota oil filter for many 2UZ-FE-equipped vehicles of the era, including some 2006 Tundras.
As with the 4.0L engine, verify by inspecting the current filter or consulting the parts catalog for your VIN to ensure the match.
How to verify the correct filter for your Tundra
Because Toyota occasionally updates filter numbers between model years and engine lines, the safest approach is to confirm against your specific VIN or consult the official parts catalog. Look for the engine code stamped on the engine, and compare to Toyota’s diagrams. You can also remove the old filter and match the canister size and thread pattern to the replacement.
Where to buy and cross-reference options
Once you have the correct OEM number, you can purchase through Toyota parts departments, authorized dealers, or reputable aftermarket retailers. If you are buying aftermarket, ensure the filter is compatible with your engine’s specifications and that the thread size matches your oil filter housing.
Summary
The 2006 Toyota Tundra uses different oil filter numbers depending on the engine. The 4.0L V6 commonly uses 04152-YZZA, while the 4.7L V8 commonly uses 90915-YZZD. Always verify with your VIN or the current filter to confirm the correct part before purchasing.
