    Nice surprise when Amazon delivered today. Ordered one oil filter and got a box of 10 for $10.
    I guess I won't have to be another oil filter for quite awhile. Ha

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    You know, changing your oil ever 10k miles means you have filters for the next 100k miles!

    :crapstorm:


    JK, you shouldn't wait that long to change it.

    If it’s all genuine and from a reputable seller, nice!

    Being via Amazon though, be sure to look closely.

    As a member of this and the 1stGen Tundra forum …. it can’t be said enough…..never buy important stuff from Fleabay or Scamazon unless it’s shipped by and sold by a reputable dealer… ex a genuine Toyota dealership or an authorized seller (Hoerr Racing Products - Redline Gear Oil and WS Trans fluid by the qt) that simply uses Amazon as a means of getting the $.

    Maybe better to compare with a original filter before installing Amazon ones as it very well could be fake. CarCareNut YouTube has also have a good video (or 2) about how to identify fake Toyota parts.

    thanks for posting that. I watched the video and ran to the garage to check mine (From Amazon) fortunately, they checked out. They have the toyota filters at Walmart, I will probably just buy from there. There are way too many counterfeits on Amazon

    What doesn’t help is that Amazon can swap sellers in and out quietly depending on quantity selected, etc.

    And if it’s shipped/fulfilled by Amazon, their inventory mixing means that you can buy from a legitimate seller and still get a counterfeit as it treats all SKU’s as the same.

    Great for efficiency and speed, bad for customers if there’s someone adding in fake product somewhere upstream.

    100% this…. There are lots of tricks to ensuring your getting the real deal, the best is when it’s sold and shipped by an authorized seller of the product. Another example is Starbucks Cafe Verona Whole bean 6 pack. I scroll down to other sellers and pay $6 more sold and shipped by Amazon but Amazon actually has it dropped shipped via UPS direct from Nestle/ Starbucks with an expiration date 6months out. Lots of little tricks but as you said Shipped and sold by Amazon is a gamble especially on parts such as Denso, etc…
