The Lexus GS 350 typically uses the OEM oil filter part number 04152-YZZA1 for the 3.5-liter V6 engines that power GS 350 models. This is the standard filter used across many model years. Check your vehicle to confirm, but 04152-YZZA1 is the most common reference.
Beyond the part number, the GS 350 uses a canister-style oil filter with an O-ring seal. When you replace it, you should also replace the filter's O-ring and ensure you have the correct gasket for the canister. The engine oil specification for many GS 350s is synthetic 0W-20, and typical service intervals are every 5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil, or up to 10,000 miles with full synthetic oil, but always follow the owner's manual for your specific year and climate.
Part numbers and compatibility
For most GS 350 models, the recommended OEM filter is 04152-YZZA1. There can be regional or model-year exceptions, so verify with the parts diagram for your exact vehicle year and market.
To help you verify the correct filter for your car, use these steps:
- Check the owner's manual or service schedule for the recommended filter part number.
- Inspect the existing filter canister; the part number is often stamped on the filter or printed on the packaging.
- Consult Lexus Parts or a reputable auto parts retailer’s diagrams for your VIN to confirm the exact part number.
- Consider an aftermarket cross-reference that specifies compatibility with 04152-YZZA1 or the 2GR-FSE/2GR-FSE engine family when shopping.
Conclusion: The 04152-YZZA1 OEM filter is the baseline reference for most Lexus GS 350 applications, but always verify based on year/market with official diagrams or the dealer.
Aftermarket and cross-references
If you opt for aftermarket, you’ll find several brands that list compatibility with the 04152-YZZA1 specification or with the 2GR-FSE engine family. When shopping, ensure the filter is designed to fit the GS 350’s canister-style housing and to seal with the correct O-ring size.
- Look for cross-reference notes that indicate compatibility with 04152-YZZA1, or ask the retailer to confirm against your VIN.
- Choose reputable brands (Wix, Purolator, Mann-Filter, Bosch, etc.) and verify packaging for the correct fitment.
Conclusion: Aftermarket options exist, but verify compatibility with your exact model year and engine code to avoid leaks or fitment issues.
Installation tips and maintenance
When you replace the filter, you’ll typically replace the O-ring gasket and reinstall the canister with a small amount of new engine oil on the gasket to ensure a proper seal. Use the recommended synthetic oil grade for your GS 350 (often 0W-20), and dispose of the old oil and filter properly.
Quick steps
- Drain the oil, loosen the filter cap, remove the old filter, replace the O-ring, and install the new filter with the cap securely tightened to the specified torque.
- Refill with the correct amount of oil (check owner’s manual for capacity) and check for leaks after starting the engine.
Conclusion: Proper installation and oil type matter as much as selecting the right filter part number.
Summary: For most Lexus GS 350 models, the standard oil filter is OEM part number 04152-YZZA1. Always confirm with your year and market using official diagrams or dealers, and consider aftermarket cross-references that match the 04152-YZZA1 specification. Regular oil changes with the correct filter help maintain engine life and performance.
