Usually it says on the filler cap on the engine. Toyota only makes two
types of oil filters for all of their gas engines. Any auto partstore or
dealer will tell the one that fits your engine.
Here is a funny post I ran across a while back.
Oil Change instructions for Girls:
1.. Pull up to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 miles since the
last oil change.
2.. Drink a cup of coffee
3.. 15 minutes later, write a check and leave with a properly maintained
vehicle.
Money spent:
a.. Oil Change: $20.00
b.. Coffee: $1.00
c.. Total: $21.00
Oil Change instructions for Guys:
1.. Wait until Saturday, drive to auto parts store and buy a case of oil,
filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner and a scented tree, write a check for
$50.00.
2.. Stop by 7/11 and buy a case of beer, write a check for $20, drive
home.
3.. Open a beer and drink it.
4.. Jack car up. Spend 30 minutes looking for jack stands.
5.. Find jack stands under kid's pedal car.
6.. In frustration, open another beer and drink it.
7.. Place drain pan under engine.
8.. Look for 9/16 box end wrench.
9.. Give up and use crescent wrench.
10.. Unscrew drain plug.
11.. Drop drain plug in pan of hot oil: splash hot oil on you in process.
Cuss..
12.. Crawl out from under car to wipe hot oil off of face and arms. Throw
kitty litter on spilled oil.
13.. Have another beer while watching oil drain.
14.. Spend 30 minutes looking for oil filter wrench.
15.. Give up; crawl under car and hammer a screwdriver through oil filter
and twist off
16.. Crawl out from under car with dripping oil filter splashing oil
everywhere from holes. Cleverly hide old oil filter among trash in trash can
to avoid environmental penalties. Drink a beer.

gasket surface.

kitty litter on oil spill.
23.. Get drain plug back in with only a minor spill. Drink beer.
24.. Crawl under car getting kitty litter into eyes. Wipe eyes with oily
rag used to clean drain plug. Slip with stupid crescent wrench tightening
drain plug and bang knuckles on frame removing any excess skin between
knuckles and frame.
25.. Begin cussing fit.
26.. Throw stupid crescent wrench.
27.. Cuss for additional 5 minutes because wrench hit bowling trophy.
