That is has a Toyota filter? That's not an illusion.
"just serviced"....translation: it was way overdue.

To be perfectly honest with you I don't see a problem with anything he has done.
That it was "dealer serviced" because it has an OEM filter, that's what is illusionary. I'm not saying you'd lie and advertise it as being dealer serviced.
Change the filter if in your mind thats going to make a difference. There is nothing special about toyota filter. Now their oil is a premium oil but if you go to the dealer are you getting Toyota oil or a poorer oil like Mobil 1 or Pennzoil?
I think its an expression of OCD behavior that none of us here are guilty of, just like the accumulating 47th+ post on the specific topic. 
If i were a potential buyer, I would appreciate that detail, but again we'll never know if its John Deer Hygard, 20w50, or more likely bulk something something.
OP should also share pictures so we can appreciate if its a S sporty edition, the rare XLE, or more likely LE.
BTW OP, hope you are safe from recent wind damage. My wife is delayed 1 day in NC coming home due to cancelled connection flight in DC from being hit with bad weather damage.

That it was dealer serviced . Post #5 .
You must work for the government, what with how you try to put spin on a comment. I said, I would like to see an oem filter on a car I'm buying. Nowhere did I say I would tell a buyer that the car was dealer serviced.
Talk about spin ? Good job ..You are the one that used the term " dealer serviced " .
Let me replay my post in it's entirety,
If you can't understand I'm saying what I like to see in a car I'm looking at, then it seems you are being deliberately obtuse.
Oh , I understand what you're saying ...
So what you gonna say if the buyer asked where you got it changed? I assume JL doesn't use OEM filters on cars...
Nobody ever asked me WHERE it was changed. No they don't use OEM, but some people bring their own filters.
Yes you can change the filter with out changing the oil. You may have to add some oil after the filter change.
So with a car that was driven 41,000+ miles a year on average for six years, even with the detailed service history, what price will you ask for this vehicle? Just curious with the high mileage.
