2022 Toyota Camry Oil Filter — What It Does and When to Replace It

Yes, the 2022 Toyota Camry definitely uses an oil filter. Toyota’s 2022 Camry Owner’s Manual and Warranty & Maintenance Guide call for periodic engine oil and oil filter replacement, and Toyota’s Electronic Parts Catalogue lists genuine parts for each engine. For the 2.5‑litre four‑cylinder (A25A‑FKS) and Hybrid (A25A‑FXS), Toyota supplies a spin‑on oil filter (e.g., 90915‑YZZN1, supersessions may include 90915‑10009). For the 3.5‑litre V6 (2GR‑FKS), it uses a cartridge‑style element (04152‑YZZA1) inside a reusable housing. These details align with Toyota’s service literature and parts documentation for the 2022 model year.

The oil filter’s job is simple but critical: it traps fine contaminants—metal particles, combustion by‑products, and sludge—so the engine oil can keep lubricating, cooling, and protecting the motor. Clean oil means quieter running, better efficiency, and less wear over the long haul. Let it go too long and you risk dirty oil, reduced flow, and accelerated engine wear—hardly the kind of surprise anyone wants under the bonnet.

For Australian and New Zealand servicing, it’s good practice to replace the oil filter at every oil change—typically every 12 months or 15,000 km (whichever comes first), or sooner if the car sees lots of short trips, dusty roads, towing, or frequent stop‑start driving. That matches Toyota’s maintenance guidance and keeps the Camry feeling crisp and responsive.

There are two common fitments on this model year:

• 2.5L petrol and Hybrid: spin‑on canister (apply clean oil to the gasket and hand‑tighten about three‑quarters of a turn after gasket contact, many techs target around 13–18 N·m if using a torque tool).
• 3.5L V6: cartridge element in a reusable housing (cap torque typically around 25 N·m, use a new O‑ring and the housing’s small drain plug where applicable).

Handy servicing tips:

• Always match the filter to the exact engine code and build, genuine part numbers above are a reliable guide.
• Replace the sump plug gasket and torque the drain bolt to typical Toyota spec (about 39 N·m), then check for leaks after start‑up.
• Use the correct grade, such as low‑viscosity Toyota‑approved oil, and reset the maintenance reminder in the dash.

Done right, an oil and filter service is quick, clean, and keeps the Camry running sweet for years.

What oil filter fits a 2022 Camry?

For the 2.5‑litre petrol and Hybrid, a Toyota spin‑on such as 90915‑YZZN1 (or its superseded equivalent) is commonly specified. The 3.5‑litre V6 uses a cartridge element 04152‑YZZA1 in a reusable housing. Always confirm by engine code and VIN to be safe.

How often should the oil filter be replaced?

Replace the oil filter at every service—generally every 12 months or 15,000 km in AU/NZ conditions, or sooner for heavy use. It’s a small cost that pays off in engine longevity and smoother running.

Can the old oil filter be reused?

No. Whether it’s a spin‑on or a cartridge, the filter element is a one‑use part. Refit a fresh, correct‑spec filter (and new O‑ring for cartridge types) at each oil change.
