I did it, and my eyes are perfectly fine. Not a single speck of metal. Not the first oil filter I've cut open. I currently build performance engines as well and have never ever seen that much metal after a break in period just saying. That's excessive
I changed my wife's at 2k this weekend, cut the filter open, Absolutely no metal or anything in the oil. It looked new coming out. I work with performance engines everyday have built and tore down hundreds of engines over the years. That looks pretty excessive. Looks like a lot bearing material.
No, I originally found a pro Vin number Online called Toyota got the part number then ordered it from a completely different dealer using that part number.
