NEVER tell a mechanic you can DIY it. Ahmed types are RARE. Most will see that you tried and to discourage you they will charge you more than it would have cost if it were a straight job and not a fix so they can discourage you from taking "food from their table." And they really see it that way. I know this specific situation and now because of the scamdemic and people losing money from places being locked down, they'll just gouge people. Charging more on parts too.

And did you return and refund?

Interesting read on Wiki about Astra Motors PT Toyota. Indonesia partnership with the OE. Now that's not saying they are counterfeiting an overseas legitimate deal. But it's interesting they went that route, if it's fake. US fake might be different than overseas where maybe they do put gaskets in and change the color of materials.. the problem of counterfeits are real, and a big problem. I recall a story of someone putting in counterfeit spark plugs. They misfired and set emission codes. Taken out, they were actually melted. The horror. Imagine having to do that job on a V6 as well..

@airborne63 cosign about letting our money go to CN but also chinesium is not what you're implying. It's pot metal resmelted to make a metal but less strong

A 90915YZZD1 is MSRP $5.97 at the stealership. All passenger vehicle filters sold by Lexus and Toyota should be the same with rare exception. Like a $17 TRD. Your dealer is fleecing you at $10. @kayinoue2972
