Oil filter for 09 Vibe 1.8L

[vhoward1122]

Hi,Just went to the local dealership and tried to buy an oil filter for my car to do the first oil change. The parts guy didn't even know the 09's were out yet. I suggested that he go out on the lot and take a look at them. Anyway, he looked it up and discovered they didn't have any parts in stock for this model year yet. He proimised me he would order what I wanted right away and it should be in next week.Hopefully, now that he knows there is someone driving around this town in an 09 Vibe 1.8L, he will keep maintenence parts in stock.

When you get it, see if it's the same filter as the '03 to '08 1.8L. I can't see any reason they would have changed it. His info was probably not updated yet which seems kind of lame.

[vhoward1122]

It's not the same. For some reason, they decided that only the 1.8L needed to have a different oil filter. It is the type that you unscrew a cover, remove the old oil filter element, put the new one in, and replace the seal and screw the cover back on. The 2.4L engine has the screw on canister type filter.None of the aftermarket parts houses have a listing for 2009's yet either.

Go to a Toyota Dealer. Gm doesn't have much stock for the '09's yet, they are on backorder (probabally taking a lot of time sticking a GM sticker on a Toyota Filter!) and take about a week for a GM dealer to get.

[kowell]

Not just stickers.... My dealer strategicaly placed his business card over the big toyota logo that was on my lug nuts package....

[vhoward1122]

FWIW, The local GM dealer can't locate a filter for my car. I went to the local Toyota dealer and they had one, in stock, and it was only $5.12. This is just the element with a seal

[nimo]

Just got my oil change to . They had to also go to Toyota dealer because Pontiac did not have it yet . The oil change place said they have never seen a 2009 yet ?

[Caretaker]

Can anyone tell me where the oil cannister is on the 1.8 liter 2009 engine, and what type of tool is required to take the lid off?

[Caretaker]

OK, I can answer most of my own question: I just went to a Toyota dealer and crawled under a 1.8 liter Matrix and saw where the cannister is. You need either a Toyota filter wrench or hopefully (I have one on order) a 68 mm wrench cap to unscrew it. Any thoughts on where I could get the special Toyota wrench? Apparently Toyota is not allowed to sell it to me. I checked the Mac Tools and Snap On Tools sites, but did not see it there.

My ms3 has this same oil filter method. I was on one of the mazda3 sites and a dealer was a sponser on. They had a buy 10 filters get the wrench cap for free purchase....so yeah did that. makes taking the filter cap off sooo much easier. Why cant toyota sell you one? at the worst DO NOT tell them you have a vibe, just say you have a 09 trix and need the tool to remove the oil filter.every time i went to the yota dealer and said i had a vibe they almost wouldnt sell me the part...dumb dumb ppl.

[SkyVibe]

Just went through this with a 2.4L 09 Vibe- two different dealers, neither stocked the oil filter. Went to Toy dealer in Augusta Ga who was a complete jerk, Vibe doesn't have Toyota engine, all different, shoulda bought a Matrix blah blah blah. Whatever.Finally got one dealer to order the spin on filter- $10+ WTH! After getting one in my hands I now find it crosses to several more common $3 filters....But my big question now is-WHAT OIL?Owners manual says 5w-20. Fill cap says 5W-30. Does the cap say 5w-30 on any other 09 2.4l owner' engines?

[03vibedriver]

Hey Skyvibe,I just checked my 2.4L 09 oil fill cap 5w20 0r 0w20. Can you please post the oil filter # . Thanks, James

[SkyVibe]

Thanks- guess I'll ask the dealer to get the correct cap....The filter has GM 88969580 on the box but has a Toyota 90915-10004 inside that crosses to a Purolator L14479 or a Wix 51396, or many others I presume.Rutherfordton huh? I have some property in Polk County we visit frequently.

[03vibedriver]

On your way to Polk county theres a Toyota Dealership in Spartanburg that won't give you the runaround. I buy parts there all the time and will work on Vibes. Thanks, James

[SkyVibe]

I'll keep that in mind. Haven't tried either of the two Toy dealers in Columbia. I was out of town Friday desperately trying to find an oil filter to change the oil in my son's Vibe on Saturday...hence the search that began in Augusta and ended with the $10 filter that was ordered late in the day Friday and came in Saturday in Columbia- whew!Now we get to call the dealer in Lugoff SC and ask them to get the correct cap..really wouldn't matter since I'm the designated family mechanic doing all the oil changes and now I know which oil it uses. Sure glad he got rid of the 97 Taurus with 151,000, that thing was killing me...every week it was something

[kowell]

Just got the car (2.4L) back from it's first oil change at the dealer. Didn't have any problem with the parts and they used the 5W-20 oil. I was hoping to have the next oil change at the local corner garage but I'm starting to fear they won't have the oil filter for a 2009 model...

[northvibe]

i always used purolator filter in the vibe.. id recommend them.

[SagWhite]

I will do my first oil change in the next few weeks (Vibe 2009 1,8l), so I wanted to know if it's reaaly required to have the special tool to unscrew the oild filter, or is it possible to do it by hand?If the tool is required, do you know the size needed? Thanks

[SagWhite]

I'll answer my question. I've found the information on Matrix forums:REPLACEMENTCAUTION: •Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will cause removal of natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.•Precautions should be taken when replacing engine oil to minimize the risk of your skin making contact with used engine oil. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use a waterless hand cleaner to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners or solvents.•For environmental protection, used oil and used oil filters must be disposed of at designated disposal sites.1.

So the tool needed is a 64mm!

[Ace Barker]

The AC Delco parts store sold me a AC PF1233 for my '09 GT. Also on the box is 25161880. It is same size as Toyota filter. No leaks. No problems so far.The manual does show 88969580 but I removed a Toyota 90915-10004I also put Mobil 1 5W-20 at 3800 miles. Will start changing at 5K as recommended in the manual. I thought the Vibe had an oil life sensor but apparently not.Ace...

[file014]

So where are these filters most readily available at this point? Still the dealer? I have 1000 miles and need to change it soon.

[Caretaker]

So the tool needed is a 64mm!Uh, well I just bought a 65 mm 14 fluted cap and it fits like a glove. Perhaps 64 will work, but I guarantee that the 65 works fine. I just crawled under my car and began turning it with no difficulty. And yes file014....you can get the filter at any Toyota dealer. Bring the filter number though. Most of those bozo dealerships don't have 2009 part supply books yet, even though these filters are readily stocked at Toyota.

[file014]

i got a couple filters at the toyota dealer yesterday. today I went to pepboys to get a filter wrench. they had 68 mm but not 64 or 65. dang. I did get 5 quarts of proline oil and a filter (for different car) for $10. Actually I got 40 quarts of oil and 8 filters. 5w20 was included in the sale too.

Didn't work! Just slipped off at every attempt so I'm going to get the proper size wrench or even the actual service tool if I can.

[Caretaker]

Are you sure your filter is not a 65/67 mm filter cap? I have read on here the they don't seem to work. I tell ya, I was unscrewing the filter housing with only my socket wrench and the 65 mm/14 fluted cap from AmPro. I had to really push on it too, since the mechanic really torqued it on there. Like others have posted, my 65mm cap is not deep at all. All other caps I tried were deeper, and they simply spinned freely. Sorry for your troubles Silversn95. I hope you find what works for you. It has been a waste of my time and money as well, since I've purchased the 67 mm cap on the bad advice of a Toyota technician, and I "had" to get my first oil change done at my mechanic.
