Bringing this back up to say i changed my oil and used the aluminum housing from Dorman. Purchased it from rockauto. It comes with 3 tube sizes the middle one is the size for the LS. I was going to use the one from the OEM but decided not too. The thing i noticed is when you tread it on it spins smooth till it stops. Small tug after and its done. The OEM one will seem to spin on longer and get tighter as it goes.
So far no issues.

Are there any updates to exact part numbers for the OEM alternatives? Is our housing the same as the IS250? I know that the filter element is, and if that's the case for the housing, it's $100 for the LS and $60 for the IS. I want to stick with OEM since it's such an important part. I just changed my LS oil for the 1st time since I got it and I've never seen the plastic ones. I'm a little concerned about degradation over 10years so I'm thinking of getting a new one to replace it. Also, I forgot to put that clip back on at the end of the oil change. Is it critical?

I found this on RockAuto:

I just changed the oil in my 2012 last weekend and might have replaced it with this Dorman part as it's only $20. No, I do not have any experience with it.
This appears to be an aftermarket plastic part:

I haven't done an oil/filter change since installing this on 2/4/21, however, I have checked underneath and via dipstick (a few times at least), and all appears in good order. No leaking or loss of oil as far as I can tell thus far.
