I wish the 2.7 in my wife's '11 Highlander had a spin-on filter---I don't get the point of a cartridge filter. But it is a great engine; 128K miles so far and no leaks, no oil burning, and nothing but oil and filter changes and a set of plugs.

That looks like could be new version of the factory Japan filter made previously. Has the silicone valve. Rare bird in the USA. Good to see, I can appreciate the mess involved in cutting these open and taking pictures. I got oil on my camera last time.

I agree. They are vastly under appreciated as most go for the V6. I had the 2.7 in my ‘96 Tacoma. It was a strong performer and I could haul full loads with no worries.
Good to know. I’m planning on buying a Tacoma in the near future and was debating on which engine to get. I don’t tow anything or do much heavy hauling but I was concerned the 2.7 might feel underpowered.

I can't imagine it would be any/much different than your Frontier
