looks like a Purolator.

It has a Purolator date code, and does say made in the USA. Looks like Purolator is making some Toyota filters now - ??

That filter has been made at least since June 15, 2017. My local Toyota dealer would not sell me the YZZD1 for my 92 Toyota 22RE because the YZZG2 superseded the YZZD1.

I guess Toyota isn't using Denso to make some of their oil filters.

The Thailand Denso filters look better.

I was seeing these as long as twenty years ago or so. Not sure when, it is that long ago. They still sell only the 90915 yzzd1 where I live and if look on eBay Connecelli Toyota was selling them $35 for 10. I don’t have time to look for it now. Maybe some local markets sell the G2. The boxes for a couple years or more now have new graphics with Lexus and Toyota branding. Boxes all red with Toyota only are the old boxes.

There was a JV between Denso and Purolator named Purodenso that made many of Toyota’s service filters in the US. I think they are still around making the US-made Toyota and Subaru air filters.

The local Toyota dealer used to sell those. I’ve only gotten Thai Densos from them for the last 10+ years.

I bought a box of chinese denso Toyota oil filters, anyway of proving they are genuine ?

Do you remember who the seller was or if it was a Toyota dealer?

that article was back in 1989. The plant is still around but it’s now a Toyoda Boshoku(who really makes Denso-branded filters) operation.

I looked up my account, I bought it from Modern Toyota.
Click here's a link
But I think their out of them, because if i try and reorder it takes me to another seller. This one: https://www.amazon.com/Toyota-Genui...wPE&pd_rd_i=B0044B303K&ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_1_1_i
Says there's only 9 left.

The G2 have been around a long time. The newest Toyota oil filters come in a red/white box, not all red. The all red is older stock. It changed about a year or two ago, I have a carton of the newer ones.

Yes it does look very similar to a Purolator design. While some filters are better than others, I guess it's true that it won't make a huge difference in engine longevity as long as your filter meets a minimum quality standard... I mean, if Toyota is buying Purolators or at least designing their own filters to be much like Purolators, they seem to be OK running it and not fussing over the very finest filtration design.
