    I ran one of these Toyota OEM on my 2014 T4R without any issues until it was totaled.
    Purchased a 21 T4R in October of 2020 and replaced the original plastic with a Toyota OEM, haven had the first issue with any leaks or the "modified" tube swap.....

    Any concern regarding the filter sizing as hinted at in the post:
    https://www.4runners.com/threads/correct-metal-filter-housing-for-2024-sr5.37027/#post-672790

    "Note that this Lexus part 15620-31050
    is different than the Toyota that everyone suggests 15620-31060 although close it’s not the same"

    I also run the metal one on both my units. I changed to metal because the stealership cracked the plastic one during one of the initial oil changes and they replaced it with a metal one on the taco, so I went metal on the 4R.

    No concern on filter size. Use the one the 4Runner calls for.
    The aluminum canister is the same internally as the plastic one. Only the tube is different and must be swapped.
    The Toyota lead tech, actually stated the Toyota aluminum one is better than the plastic. He has seen the plastic one develop failures if dropped and cracked.

    Just furnishing info here. You do you.
    I have not had the first issue with any part of this change. Just under 65K and oil/filter replaced every 5K.

    I accidentally cracked mine, oil everywhere, so I had to get the aluminum one as the price for that compared to the plastic was insane! No issues whatsoever since the swap. I don't understand why so many people are against the aluminum instead of plastic?

    The only thing on this swap is make sure it is actually a Toyota replacement. Not Dorman or a knockoff from God knows where!

    No, I don't they are, but they look very similar IMO. I'm saying that because the filter in the Taco is shorter and a little fatter, than the one on the 4R. So if the filters are different, the housings are probably slightly different. :notsure:

    I’d say stay with the original design since it’s protected by the skid plate anyway. The only thing that is really bad about the factory housing is that the technician changing the oil can really over tighten the housing and that creates a problem for the next person who has to crawl under the vehicle and un torque that plastic housing. That’s my experience with it and I haven’t been back to anyone else for an oil change since the gorilla that worked for the dealership was a little over anxious and really over torqued it.
