Fuel Filter Part Number Question

[waf102]

Hi folks,

I have 1990 LS400. Want to change the original fuel filter.

Have part # 23300-50020 from LexLS.com tutorial. (Also, have seen # 23300-50060 listed in other tutorials.)

They have it at my local Lexus dealer for $60. Tried the Toyota dealer, but nothing comes up under that number.

Spend 30 minutes looking thru fourm and on net for a equivalent 'Toyota' part number...but noy joy.

Can I get this part @ a Toyota dealer cheaper? Does anyone know the equivalent part number?

Thanks...

-Bill

OR...

Does any one have a recommendation for a non-Toyota brand at a better price?

Quality matters. (If you suggest FRAM...I won't laugh :- p

Why not order a wix brand for about $20....One source would be Rock Auto.com or Parts Geek.com

Why change it if it works?

Not sure that it does...other symptoms I won't get into here.

Thanks for the advice...

Part from dealer was $67. I checked with these guys, http://www.carpartswarehouse.net/pages/ , and they had a no-name for $7 and WIX for $22.

I went with the WIX (Part # 33319). Installed. Good opportunity to clean up a little rust on the fuel line...nothing serious. Didn't need to replace anything else.

Hopefully, it willsolve some of the intermittent sputting of the engine (like once every few months). Sometimes ya gotta start with the cheap and easy 'fix'. Fingers crossed.

Thanks again!

waf102,

Have you checked out Sewelllexus in Texas? If you are a memeber on LOC, then you may get a discount on parts from them... and they are cheaper than many other suppliers of OEM parts.

I picked this one up from ebay for my 1991 LS400 (part #23300-50020):

It came in a toyota box and had the bracket, which is great when you're trying to swap the filter out and fuel is running down your arm - it's one less thing to worry about. I only paid $12 and I haven't had any issues.

Ahhh yeah. If you are getting a little missing, you might check your vaccuum lines. I had one loose and that was the problem.
