What is the part number of the oil filter on a Toyota Hiace?
The exact oil filter part number for a Toyota Hiace varies by engine and model year; there is no single universal part number for all Hiace models. This article explains how to identify the correct OE filter for your vehicle and provides steps to verify it with official sources.
Why there isn't a single part number
Hiace models across generations and markets have used different engines—diesel and gasoline—each with its own filter design. Part numbers can change between generations, and even the same engine family may have different filters for different markets or revisions. Because of this, the only reliable way to know the exact part number is to reference the vehicle’s engine code, year, and market in an official parts catalog or with a Toyota dealer.
How to identify the correct oil filter
To find the right filter, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Locate your engine code and model year. The engine code is typically on the engine block or on a sticker in the engine bay; the VIN can also reveal the engine variant.
- Step 2: Look up the official Toyota service or parts catalog for your vehicle by engine code or VIN to find the exact oil filter part number.
- Step 3: Compare the OEM part number with what is installed, or check cross-reference resources from reputable brands (e.g., Denso, Wix, Beck/Arnley) to ensure compatibility.
- Step 4: If catalogs aren’t accessible, measure the current filter (thread size, outer diameter, and height) and verify against trusted aftermarket cross-references to ensure proper fit for your engine.
These steps help you verify the correct filter when official catalogs aren’t readily available.
Engine options commonly found in Hiace and how filters vary
Across generations and markets, the Hiace has used several engines. Diesel options and petrol options each require distinct oil filters, and some engines are shared with other Toyota vans and trucks, allowing cross-reference with parts from related models.
- Diesel family: engines such as the 2KD-FTV and 1KD-FTV appear in many Hiace variants; oil filters for these engines are designed for common-rail diesel systems and have specific part numbers that can differ by market and year.
- Petrol family: engines such as the 2TR-FE (2.7L) or other 4-cylinder petrol units have their own oil filters, separate from diesel engines, and part numbers are not interchangeable with diesel filters.
- Cross-model compatibility: in some cases, the same engine family used in Hiace also appears in other Toyota vans or pickups, which can simplify cross-reference, but the filter must match the exact engine code and generation.
Always confirm against the official Toyota catalog or with a dealer to avoid ordering the wrong part.
Summary
The oil filter part number for a Toyota Hiace is not universal. It depends on the vehicle’s engine code, year, and market. To obtain the exact OE number, consult the Toyota official parts catalog using your VIN or engine code, or ask a Toyota dealer. If you share your Hiace’s year, market, and engine code, I can help look up the precise part number for your vehicle.
