Bosch Workshop Oil Filter 72229WS Overview

The Bosch Workshop Oil Filter 72229WS is a spin-on engine oil filter built for Toyota and Lexus applications that call for a 3/4-16 thread and compact canister size.

With fitment across many Toyota Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Prius, and Lexus ES, NX, RX, and TX models, this filter is a direct service part for a wide range of gas and hybrid vehicles. Bosch rates the media to capture 97.5% of pollutants and hold up to 13 grams of dirt within the filter media.

Detailed Description

Bosch Workshop Oil Filters are built for routine engine service where consistent filtration and stable oil delivery matter. The 72229WS uses cellulose paper media to trap contaminants while maintaining flow, and the anti-drain back valve helps keep oil in the filter during shutdown so the engine receives oil more quickly at startup. The bypass relief valve adds protection if the media becomes restricted, helping maintain lubrication under demanding conditions.

This filter is a strong match for many Toyota and Lexus vehicles, including Toyota Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Prius, Highlander, Sienna, Tacoma, and Lexus ES250, ES300h, NX350h, RX350h, and TX500h. The Bosch 72229WS is also listed for older Toyota and Scion applications, making it a useful service part across multiple model years and engine families.

This part cross-references common aftermarket applications such as Fram PH4967 and Wix 51394 for the same application.

What This Oil Filter Helps Address

• Engine wear caused by oil contamination
• Reduced oil flow during cold starts
• Filter restriction from accumulated debris
• Premature engine damage from poor filtration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 3/4-16 thread size, spin-on filter style, and physical dimensions before installation. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for your Toyota Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Prius, or Lexus ES and RX application, since Bosch 72229WS is used across many model years and engine combinations. Replace the filter during each oil service and check the sealing surface for debris before tightening to the manufacturer’s specification.
