Worried about oil leaks in your Toyota vehicle or struggling to find a discontinued OEM oil seal? Replacing your Toyota oil seal is easier than you think—with the right part number, size, and a reliable supplier.
Toyota oil seals prevent fluid leaks around crankshafts, camshafts, axles, and other rotating components. In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to identify the right part, understand failure symptoms, and find OEM-compatible replacements using cross-reference tools and aftermarket suppliers.
Let’s explore the most common questions asked by people trying to replace or identify Toyota oil seals and how to solve them.
What are the signs of a failing Toyota oil seal?
Oil seals are vital for keeping oil, grease, and transmission fluid contained. If your Toyota is leaking from the engine, transmission, or differential, the seal could be worn out or damaged.
Typical signs include:
- Oil stains under the engine or gearbox
- A burning smell from oil leaking onto hot parts
- Unusual drops in oil or transmission fluid levels
- A dirty area near the crankshaft or axle housing
- Visible cracks or hardening on the seal surface
Catching these early saves you time and costly repairs.
How can I identify the correct Toyota oil seal?
There are three easy ways to identify the exact oil seal you need:
- Check the old part: Most seals are stamped with an OEM number like 90311-47013.
- Measure the dimensions: Use a caliper to get ID × OD × Width (e.g. 47×72×8 mm).
- Look it up by VIN: Toyota parts catalogs let you search by vehicle and model.
OEM Part No. | Size (mm) | Application |
---|---|---|
90311-47013 | 47×72×8 | Crankshaft front seal |
90311-T0011 | 40×58×8 | Camshaft seal |
90311-42002 | 42×62×8 | Rear axle hub seal |
If you can't find a part number, just send us the seal or a photo for help.

Can I replace a Toyota oil seal myself or do I need a mechanic?
Some oil seals are easy to replace, while others require advanced tools or disassembling the drivetrain.
- DIY friendly: Camshaft seals, axle seals, oil pan seals
- Moderate difficulty: Front crankshaft seals (requires pulley removal)
- Difficult: Rear main seal (requires transmission removal)
For example, when I replaced my Corolla’s front crank seal, I used a seal puller, rubber mallet, and a driver kit. It took about 2 hours and saved me over $250 in labor.
If you're unsure, consult a mechanic. But if you're sourcing the seal yourself, our guides and kits make it easy.

Seal Location | DIY Part Cost | Shop Replacement Cost |
---|---|---|

Rear Main | $12–$30 | $400–$800 |
