The whole rant about the Thai filters and the RAV4 are the giveaways.....
That's ok, I enjoyed his insight in the past.

The Thai filter is a good filter, but it sure isn't the OEM Denso filter that came on the car. Just don't understand why I can buy a coffee mug that's made in Japan at the dealership's parts counter, but can't get the Japanese oil filter that was originally installed at the factory. It had better media, o-ring and A.D.B. valve.

I got mine on line, but theyu still didnt save the Rav-4 - dead motor at 67K miles. I am at a loss on where to go from here to get these things to last. A dealer OC with a Thailand service filter was the death of the motor, unfortunately, My spousal-unit is immune to engine noise so I didnt find out till its too late and the warranty had expired. Lets see if we can keep the subie running. The deals are good Now. Got the Subie 2.5 X at 18,700 on a 20800 sticker. The base vehicle is loaded with good stuff. Would like to have wiper park area windshield glass heaters and heated OS mirrors up here in the frozen north though.

Oh man, more thai filter bashing. just like GRUMPY used to do.
Funny, Grumpy's wife ALSO had a RAV4. Hmm.....
I doubt a RAV4 died due to the filter the dealer tech installed. That's if you even have/had one.
Thousands of oil changes are done Nationwide every day and so far yours is the only claim I encountered that the mfgs. part they distribute worldwide is the culprit.
Sorry, but I gotta put up the flag here.
Welcome back Grumpy!
