Toyota labeled filters?

[Alamogunr]

New here and more than a little overwhelmed by the level of technical expertise.
On our 1996 Avalon, I've always used Toyota oil filters that I buy when they have a sale on parts. I always change at 4000 to 5000 miles using dino(love that term).

My question is: Who makes them and are they "good enough"? I will be replacing this car in a few months. It has over 170,000 mi. so experience says keep on using what works. What do the experts say?

If you do a search you will find a lot of information on Toyota filters. And yes, they're considered good filters.

I know that some will not believe I am actually who my handle claims is posting, because I am not bashing anything about toyota...

But toyota filters are offered at an excellent price typically, and are very well made.

I usually buy denso first time fit filters when I can... why? Because a) they come with a pre-lubed gasket and a plastic cover over top to keep dirt out in shipping and b) usually I try to get free shipping on my import parts, so piggyback lots of filters, etc onto my orders to get over the $100 point.

I wouldnt think twice about using toyota filters.

Is there a Denso First Time Fit equivalent to the Toyota 90915-20004 (made in Japan by Denso) that Toyota stopped selling in the US market? That was widely considered to be the best Toyota oil filter.

Look for one of the foreign car parts retailers that gets their supply from Worldpac, have this photo:

...and the WorldPac stock number A6000-116738. You'll see, "© Worldpac," in the parts photos.

What is the difference between those blue ones and the black ones seen here ?

Denso's web site has pics of both of them.

But when I look up my car, it shows the black colored filter.
