Oil Filters interchangeable between GT4 and MR2 Turbo?

[Mike]

As the title really. I usually order my filters online but dont really have the time to do so on this occasion.

If I buy an ST185 GT4 oil filter from Halfords/Unipart etc, will it fit my Rev 2 Turbo?

Thanks

yep will be fine. just make sure that any filter you fit has the anti drainback valve in. it stops the oil draining back when the engine is off and minimises the time taken for the oil to be supplied on restarts.
IIRC the genuine filter isnt too expensive from Toyota and they should keep them in stock.

stock filter is used for the Yaris as well IIRC so should be plenty on the shelf at Mr T and as said why not get the OEM one as you know it works properly

Same part number for all turbos. 90915-YZZJ2.

If you need onew sending out tomorrow, PM me before mid-afternoon.

Toyota stock two filters - the short one and the long one. The turbo (and GT4) takes the long one, the NA takes the short one. You can literally walk up the the Toyota part dept and ask for that and they'll get the right part for you

Thanks gents, I'm picking up a clutch master cylinder seal kit from Mr T tomorrow so I'll ask for the filter whilst I'm there.

And again, working in parts myself, every dealership should have your oil filter in stock. Probably one of the most common ones used. Get the sump plug washer as well, they don't come with the oil filter

My trick is to ask for the washer after they've processed the filter... often the parts person can't be bothered to charge you again for the couple of pence it's worth

Mine always come with a sump washer for no extra fee

Toyota have ratified their filters a bit now, so you can just ask for a 'J2' filter. Or you can use the full part number as provided by Peter, either way you'll end up with the same thing. As you can see and has been mentioned, it's used by quite a variety of engines, as supplied in the MK1 MR2, ST185, ST205, turbo SW20 and 190bhp MK7 Celica:



If you think you're going to be keeping the car for a long time, Toyota sell the filters in a box of 10 which gives you roughly 25% off.

I can admit to doing this.

Toyota are normally quite good when you buy in bulk for consumables. If you think your keeping the MR2 for a while you can buy a 60L drum of pink coolant. Most of the time at cost price because it looks good on their figures
