Its been about a week since my oil change on my Yaris, Its fairly young in its mileage less than 140K which take these tiny sized oil filters from Toyota. The darker filtering element in the photos is the filter that has been on 4500 miles, while the lighter colored one was only on the engine for 30 minutes using BG EPR to see how much debris and carbon it would catch. To my disappointment, the second filter was defective from the start open cutting open. One of the pleats did not had its end sealed and the supporting round molding appeared cracked at that location. Looks like quality control is slipping, good thing it wasn't on there for the next 5000 miles.
