looks like your old filter could've easily handled another 5K oci new one looks fine though.. was the fit ok for the new one? not too tall or too short?

Fit seemed fine.
I plan to buy some OEM one's in the near future, like a half case or full case or whatever works out to be a good deal. The Supertech was mostly because I keep forgetting to order the dang filters. I wasn't too impressed with how the pleats (not uniform) so I'll pay a few cents more in the future.

Pulled this filter this weekend. Hmm, was on longer than I thought--wife must put more of her miles on in the fall or something, as I see it's been 5 months.
Anyhow: this is not a 10k/5month filter.
Filter came out looking fine:
However, while removing the canister I found it spun way too easily. Like it was finger tight. Now, I did the oil on my VW about 30 times (same cartridge setup), 5 times on my Tundra and 6 times on my Camry before this time--and never once did they turn off as easily as this one. Upon inspection I found the o-ring flattened. I don't know if it is age, heat or what: but I would not recommend running this o-ring for any longer than I did. If anything, I'd go as far as to recommend reusing the OEM ring instead, as I suspect those are good for a few reuses. Unlike this one, which didn't make through one.
*
Annoyingly, I first drained my Tundra into my Blitz container which was 8qt; then I drained the Camry, good for another 4.5 or so. Then I found out that the drain cap on the Blitz was cracked. The Pennzoil containers have small caps making draining oil into them a real pain--cannot hold 13qt of oil in one hand and a funnel in the other! Was not a good Sunday morning.

A study was done on OEM Toyota filters vs. will fit filters on the Tacoma forums. I'd give this thread a looking over personally before deciding. If Toyota filters were more attainable to me, I'd use the heck out of them but there's no Toyota dealer within a 100 miles from here.
But, here's the thread if you're interested in some reading. For the money, it's hard to beat an OEM filter that was specifically designed for your engine in the first place:

You should try ordering online. I did a "big" order off eBay for $4 each or less. Ebay or Amazon, depending upon your desires. I got some OEM pads, caliper pins, crush washers and other bits all for reasonable prices.
Will read that link later, thanks.

WOW, A filter only operates @ 2 - 5psi? In a spin-on filter with internal BPV how could there ever be enough pressure to open it?

The bypass valve will open when the delta-p across the filter reaches or exceeds the bypass valve setting. That can happen if the filter gets really clogged up, and/or if the engine is revved high with cold thick oil. That's the whole purpose of the bypass valve.
Bypass valves shouldn't be opening unless the conditions mentioned above become extreme.
Here's a typical Flow vs Delta-P graph of a new oil filter with 200 deg F oil flowing through it. But if the filter is clogged and/or the oil very thick, then the whole curve is shifted upwards and the delta-p can certainly be high enough to open the bypass valve.
