Default Some ? about stock SC filter

I just bought the stock air filter from Longo Toyota, but the part number didn't match the one on the planet soarer site.(Didn't bring the part # there cuz didn't plan to go there after school, but turned out I had time to spare ) I was cross referencing online to see what other toyota cars' filters are the same with the SC by using the K&N application chart, and turned out that 93+ supras uses the same thing. So, I went to the Toyota dealer(trying to save some $ since I don't have that much right now) and got the filter with part number 17801-07020($13.53 after tax), where as the planetsoarer.com listed 17801-46060, so I'm wondering if they are the same thing?? If not, is the difference just that the one I got is made in US while the planetsoarer one is made in JP? Thanks!

P.S. the toyota guys told me that the Type-IV ATF don't come in 4 liter cans anymore, is this true?? So if I want to do a complete flush, how many quarts do I need?(too lazy to do the conversions )

I don't know about the PN# for the air filter.
To do the complete flush you will need about 14 qts of type-t. Right now at Lexus dealer in Atlanta, 1 qt of type-t will cost around $6.00. The best is ask one of tech at Lexus dealer that he got some type-t laying around and would like to sell. Because part dept. will give the tech 14 qts and if it only take 13 1/2 qts to fill up the trans. flush machine, so the guy got and extra 1/2 qt. When he do the next job, Part Dept. still give him 14 qts, but he already got the extra 1/2 qt.

OK, by using www.parts.com I've verfied that this toyota filter is also what the SC uses. But I'm still wondering about the differences between these two~
