The 2007 Toyota Camry uses a spin-on oil filter, but the exact part number depends on the engine in your car. For most 2007 Camry models, the two main options are the 2.4-liter four-cylinder and the 3.0-liter V6, each with its own OEM filter.
In practice, the 2.4L Camry (engine code 2AZ-FE) typically uses Toyota’s oil filter part number 04152-31090, while the V6 version (engine code varies by market) generally uses 04152-31050. Always verify the correct filter for your specific engine and region, especially if your car was imported or updated from an earlier configuration.
Engine options and compatible oil filters
The Camry offered two primary engine choices in 2007. Use the corresponding part number for your configuration when sourcing a filter.
- 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) — Toyota oil filter part number: 04152-31090
- 3.0L V6 — Toyota oil filter part number: 04152-31050
These are the standard OEM filters for the two common configurations. Regional variations can exist, so it’s wise to confirm with your VIN, the owner’s manual, or a Toyota dealer if you’re unsure.
How to verify your engine type and part number
To ensure you’re selecting the correct filter, check the following:
- VIN or vehicle identification label under the hood or on the driver’s door frame to confirm the exact engine code.
- Under-hood engine stamping or the original window sticker, which lists the engine option.
- Owner’s manual or service booklet, which usually specifies the correct filter part number for your engine.
If you still aren’t sure after checking these sources, consult a Toyota dealer or trusted mechanic with your car’s VIN to confirm the right filter before purchasing.
Tips for buying and installing the filter
When buying an aftermarket filter, you’ll still want to match the correct specifications for your engine. Ensure the filter is designed for a 4.5–5.0 quart oil capacity system, has the appropriate thread size, and fits a spin-on housing typical of Toyota engines of that era. Most major brands offer filters cross-referenced to the OEM part numbers listed above.
Replacing the filter at each oil change is standard practice, and using the correct filter helps protect engine internals and maintain oil pressure. Always follow the recommended oil grade and changing interval in your owner’s manual.
Summary
For a 2007 Camry, the oil filter depends on the engine: 04152-31090 for the 2.4L 2AZ-FE and 04152-31050 for the 3.0L V6. Verify your engine type via VIN, under-hood labels, or the owner’s manual to confirm the exact part number, and choose a compatible aftermarket option if needed. Regular filter changes support engine longevity and performance.
