I am glad it is working out so far for everyone. Mine still haven't shipped (not sure how that works since I got mine ordered before I even posted this).
Amazon does this all the time. Cheap stuff floats around. I just happened to be looking at the time. Why I shared it.
Fingers crossed I get mine. No hurry of course.

This item is shipped by a third party, BAM Wholesale. It's doubtful Amazon sets third party pricing for special offers. I looked up Today's Deals on Amazon and sorted by Discount - High to Low. The highest discounts on automotive related stuff are Amazon Prime items, 50-64% on off brands I would not buy. Your discount was 80% on genuine Toyota oil filters with free shipping. We can all hope you will find more deals like that and post them here.

Looks like the deal is still available, just need to click the link that says "New (11) from $8.99 Prime FREE Delivery". I've placed an order for a case and have a filter I bought from my local dealership to compare with.

Just like "thinkviv" said. The deal is still available, though from a different seller, 166 Auto Inc. I purchased on the 11th from that seller and supposedly getting delivered today. I still have some genuine filters I got from a dealer a while ago and going to compare once these cheaper ones come in. If they end up fakes. I can just easily return them to Amazon. Thanks "Slowgoat" for posting the deal.

Wow! Again? When I clicked on that link, the listing says, "In stock soon." Now I'm wondering how many more cases will be sold at that price, ha-ha.

I thought the saying was " I see said the blind man pissing into the wind. It all comes back to me now".

interested to see your thoughts. I'm not due for an oil change until jan/feb depending on if we drive the toyota on road trips or the Ferd. So the box of filters is prolly gonna get lost in the garage lol

Points of comparison: - Holographic sticker quality
- Quality of box that filter came in
- Markings on the box and "Made in Thailand"
- Included accessories (o-rings and plastic drain tool)
- Material filter is made of
- Number of pleats on filter
- Construction of filter
- Rigidity of filters (whether the Amazon filters squished easier than dealership filter)
- Font printed on filter which says "TOYOTA 15613-YZZA2"

I got mine Monday as well; they look identical to the ones above.
Will post pics of mine soon, but I don't have a known OEM one to compare to.
What tool are you all liking for removal of the filter housing?
I see a few options. I need to snag one in the next few months.
