The exact oil filter part number depends on the model year and market, but for many Toyota 86 models with the FA20 2.0L engine the common OEM filter is 04152-YZZA4. Verify with your VIN at a dealership or official parts catalog to be certain.
Understanding the oil filter fitment on the Toyota 86
The Toyota 86 (also marketed as the Subaru BRZ in some regions) uses a 2.0-liter FA20 engine. While the filter itself is a standard spin-on type, Toyota assigns different part-number suffixes to reflect variations by year, market, and minor engineering updates. This means there isn’t a single universal number for every car within the 86 line.
Why the part number varies
Regional differences, updated service parts, and VIN-specific cataloging can change the exact filter you need. Using the VIN or consulting an official parts catalog ensures you order the correct filter the first time.
To help you identify the right filter, here’s a structured approach you can follow.
Before each list, note that the following steps help you verify the correct filter before ordering.
- Check the car’s year and market (for example, U.S., Europe, or Asia) since this can affect the part suffix.
- Look up the OEM part number in Toyota's official parts catalog using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
- Consult the dealership’s parts department with your VIN or the exact model year to confirm the correct filter.
- If using aftermarket filters, ensure the cross-reference explicitly states compatibility with the FA20 2.0L engine used in the 86/BRZ families.
- Inspect the old filter (if you’re replacing it in person) to compare thread size, gasket diameter, and overall size against the replacement.
Following these steps helps ensure you order the correct filter and avoid compatibility issues.
Common options and cross-references
Beyond the Toyota Genuine Part, several aftermarket brands offer filters that cross-reference with the FA20 2.0L engine. When choosing aftermarket options, verify the filter’s specifications match the 86’s requirements (thread, gasket style, and flow rating) and that the product explicitly lists FA20 or 2.0L Toyota 86/BRZ compatibility.
- Toyota Genuine Part: 04152-YZZA4 (and suffix variations by market; confirm with dealer).
- Aftermarket cross-references: filters from reputable brands that list compatibility with the FA20 2.0L in the 86/BRZ lineup.
Always verify the exact suffix and compatibility before purchase, as small differences can affect fitment.
Summary
For a Toyota 86, the oil filter part number is not universally fixed. The FA20 2.0L engine commonly uses 04152-YZZA4 in many markets, but year- and region-specific suffixes can apply. To be certain, consult your VIN-based Toyota Parts Catalog or contact your local dealership’s parts desk. This ensures you get the correct filter for your exact vehicle and model year.
