This cartridge filter is from the '15 4Runner after 7400 miles.

Except for being saturated with oil, it looks and feels the same as the new one that went in.

I must say I'm impressed with the Wix quality - and price...at around $7-8 and probably good for 10-12k it is certainly a value.

The slightly uneven pleats in the second photo appear to be normal....as the new filter (no photo) has the same construction.

57173 seems to be the best filter in the category, even Amsoil recommends it. Never had one come out looking any different, save the color, than it went in. Thanks for the pics.

I see what you're talking about, but it's the sun glinting off the oil. I did a doubletake when I brought it out of the garage for the pics.... Then ran my finger across it to check. It's a cpo from Toyota so if it blows in the next 55,000 miles it's covered
