Check the part number on the filter itself matches the one on the box.
oddly enough I don’t see a part number anywhere on the filter. Is this some kind of joke? Did I just order some fake part or something? I mean it looks of very high quality... I’m getting more confused than I was earlier. All the filter says is “Replace Only Do Not Service” the letter and number combination of “HUZE8” and a arrow pointing up with the word “UP” enclosed in a triangle. I’m worried now.

So the filter itself should have one of these two numbers on it.
Either way you got the top of the line offering for the filter, and not the cheap one.
I’m trippin lol I just don’t want to put no Fake stuff or something that would make it worse than better. But thanks for the information man that’s interesting to note.

I wouldn't worry...the box looks like it's legit.
Like I just posted, the part number has been superseded, so it's possible the filter may not have all the markings on it like the replacement part number one.
I checked two filters I have, one for my Highlander and one for god knows what...both Toyotas. The Highlander one has the part number on the filter, and the other doesn't...and both were purchased from the dealer.
So it's hit and miss with whats written on it. The Highlander filter was made in Japan, but the other was made in USA (that didn't have the number on it).

10-4! Very interesting. Thanks for the personal info! I’m assuming you’ve stayed loyal to toyota most of your life? I’m also going to assume mine was made in the US of A since mine has no number on it. But what the heck does it matter, as long as the filter does it’s job.

Been driving Toyota, Scion, and now Lexus since 1996. Everything from 2 doors, to sedans, to wagons/hatchbacks/minivans, to hybrids...manual, auto, cvt...you name it, i've driven/owned it lol
I've heard there are other car brands out there, but never bothered to check lol
