Wrong Oil Filter? Sign In

Brand : Performax

Oil Filter PO-37

Filtre Huile Pz-37
HL6607

Filtros os aceite QS-14612


I have a 2000 Toyota Camry LE and the above oil filter was installed on my car and it fell off after a service place changed it. A local garage said it was the wrong size but didn't put it in writing. I am just wondering if anyone knows if.this was the improper size oil filter for my car?

No engine size?

If it is a 2.2L, it should be a PO-38
If it is a 3.0L, it should be a PO-21

Looks like they installed the wrong filter. Did you notify the place that changed your oil?

Ok so they did install the wrong one. The car is a 2.2 so that must be the case.

I finally got around to taking the car to the oil service place. I asked for a reciept and it shows on the receipt that it was a PO-38 it says they installed but I have the PO-37 that they actually installed. It has a date written on the old one. Now I am waiting for a call from corporate as the service place said that they would call within the week.

Is it possible for them to deny installing the PO37 since the receipt says a PO38 was installed? There is handwriting from a permanent marker on the PO37 they installed. Could that help in a legal matter? I am guessing they will pay for tow and garage fees since they know I have the part the installed wrongfully.

You having the filter marked is probably the most important thing along with the other shop's diagnosis. Even though the paper states a 38 was installed that is not the case. Mistakes do happen and hopefully they will work with you.
