It may be because Denso Thailand is having a hard time producing enough filters, is my guess why the G2 is a preplacement for the D1
The G2 has round holes in the tubes, made in USA, and red/pink silicone valve. ON the top of the canister it has stamped "F07J31E2G"
I believe that was made July 31, 2017, and having round holes is something other Purolators are no longer using. Any sign of the ADBV extending into the inlet holes and having cuts? Interesting Toyota chose round holes over louvers. I would use them if everything checks out, especially for $4.
Puro has been known to make filters per tight OEM spec and QC. If anything, Motorcraft and Mopar filters survived Teargate and Cutgate compared to their main lines.
