Someone cut a bunch of them open and did a comparison awhile back. They're all pretty much the same.

That can't possibly be trued based on photos I've seen of autopsy photos.
The problem is knowing what filters are good and which are bad though.

A lot of them were the same because, well, they are the same. K&N and Mobil 1 are the same filter. Wix and Napa are the same filter.
The Toyota filter was shown to have almost twice as much filter media as the cheaper Fram type brands. If I remember correctly the Wix/Napa, Mobil 1/K&N, Purolator filters were found to have better internals and media.
I want someone to cut open some of the supposedly better brands like Baldwin and Donaldson to see what they are made of.

If no chance of obtaining a oem toyota filter made by denso than I would look for a "denso first time fit" filter. Not sure if the regular parts stores carry them yet. In a bind, and regardless of cost I would buy a mobil one or knn, from the autopsy posts I have read they have good internals like others have posted.

^^^^This and I have seen really good research on the Amsoil extended drain filters as well but they are pricey!
