The correct oil filter for a 2009 Toyota Venza depends on the engine under the hood. The two available powertrains that year use different filters: a 2.7-liter inline-four and a 3.5-liter V6. Identify the engine to determine the right part.
Two engines, two filters
Before listing the two official options, note that the Venza was offered with two different engines in 2009. The following sections identify the OEM filter numbers commonly associated with each engine, so you can order the correct filter for your vehicle.
- 2.7 L inline-four (1AR-FE): Toyota Genuine Oil Filter part number 04152-YZZA6 (and closely related variants used by the same engine family).
- 3.5 L V6 (2GR-FE): Toyota Genuine Oil Filter part number 04152-YZZA8 (and closely related variants used by the same engine family).
When selecting a filter, ensure you match the engine type and, if possible, verify the exact part number against your vehicle’s VIN or owner’s manual. Some production runs may use a very closely related variant of the OEM part.
How to confirm the correct filter for your Venza
To be certain you’re buying the right filter, use one of these verification methods:
- Check the owner’s manual or the maintenance booklet for the exact oil filter part number.
- Use Toyota’s official parts lookup or a reputable dealer with your VIN to confirm the correct filter for your exact vehicle configuration.
- If you already know your engine code (1AR-FE for the 2.7L or 2GR-FE for the 3.5L), verify the corresponding OEM number in a trusted parts catalog.
Regardless of the engine, use a filter that matches the manufacturer’s specifications (oil flow, filtration efficiency, and thread size) and replace the crush washer on the drain plug when you service the oil.
Additional tips for the oil change
Pair your filter replacement with the correct oil grade and capacity for your engine. The 2.7L typically uses a 5W-30 or 0W-20 depending on market and climate, while the 3.5L often calls for 5W-30. Always consult the manual for the exact recommendations and follow manufacturer guidelines for oil quantity during changes.
Summary
For the 2009 Toyota Venza, the oil filter depends on the engine: the 2.7 L I4 uses 04152-YZZA6, while the 3.5 L V6 uses 04152-YZZA8 (with minor production-date variations possible). Confirm the exact part with your VIN or dealer catalog to ensure you purchase the correct filter for your vehicle.
