I think it would be interesting to compare Toyota oil filters purchased from different dealerships.
The one on the left is from a Toyota USA dealership. Filter on right is from a Toyota dealership in Japan. As you would expect they are extremely similar. Both the metal and weight and rubber gasket feel similar. But you can see there is slight differences in font brightness, and weight. Additionally, the lubricant on the filter bottom is different in color. The USA filter is light amber / honey color (fresh oil color.) The Japanese filter lubricant is black / dark grey color.
I believe both are genuine and both will do just fine to take care of our 1GZ-FE V12s. This post is more of a way to build a reference for the community.
