Detailed Product Description

The Dorman 926-125 VVT solenoid filter features a stainless steel mesh filter element combined with a PA6 housing, providing reliable filtration of engine oil before it reaches the variable valve timing solenoid. The silver filter element is engineered to capture contaminants that could impair the solenoid’s operation, while the black housing offers durability against engine heat and oil exposure. With dimensions of 54 mm length and 12 mm width, this filter is designed to fit precisely within the VVT system of compatible Toyota, Lexus, and Scion vehicles. The absence of a gasket or seal means it is intended to be used with existing engine seals, simplifying installation.
