You can see the condition of the filter media before it is installed, which is one thing you can certainly not see with a metal can type.
Cartridge filters have been around for years. The optional oil filter for '50s Chevys was this style, as well as most old (and maybe newer?) farm tractors.
Most of the OE Toyota filters that I have purchased have been made by Denso.

Also, who makes the toyota OEM filter?
Thank you.
