You people keep telling me to go to the dealer but it's a distance from me. Walmart is closer. I ask a question and all I get is attacks.

I didn't ask this question for people to be telling me to use aftermarket oil filters. I asked if the Toyota oil filter 90915YZZN1 oil filter has the same thread size as N3 and if N1 will fit if it currently has N3.

STP oil filters leak and Microgard has poor flow. Fram, Wix and many other brands have poor construction.

I don't trust after market oil filters anymore. They are known for leaks and restrictive flow. I'm not going to risk losing another engine.

I recently bought a 2009 Camry Hybrid. It's had a previous owner and it's due for an oil change. I'm going to change the oil but I've run into a problem. The oil filter that is on is 90915YZZN3. When doing research sources say the correct filter is either YZZF1 or YZZN1. I bought the YZZN1 from...

It did not turn over at all. It would click once when I turned the ignition abd that's it. It would not crank.

They are supposed to last 300,000 miles or more. And a seizing engine is not due to mileage.

If coolant was getting into the oil from a failing head gasket the oil would be milky. But it's not common for head gaskets to blow in Toyotas.

Timing belt is every 60,000 miles with Camrys. There were misfires codes. I changed the plugs and wires. It got rid of the misfires for a little while then it started again but it would only misfire when the engine is cold.

It's a non interference engine. The timing belt breaking won't damage the engine. It broke last Summer and it started back up after the new belt was installed.

The timing belt was changed last year.

Yes. I made sure all the fluid levels where good.

When it seized it made loud knocking and ticking noises before it quit.

My Mom had it before I did. It had 202,000 miles on it. I was having to add a quart of oil every 2000 miles due to a minor leak from the valve cover gasket. I never let the oil level get low. I used Mobil 1 High Mileage 5W-30. That's what's recommended for older Toyotas with high mileage. I...
