LOL One of us is getting excited and it isn't me.

I still fail to see what all this has to do with the OP's question about a K&N filter.
A filter is consider a wear item and is as such, is not warranted. except for defects in maufactruring.
The fact that Toyota sells a copy of a K&N filter (it may even be made by K&N) prevent them from claiming that a K&N is flawed technology.

Besides, people have been chaging their own air filters for many decades (including K&N)and I never heard a warranty issue being denied bucause if it.

No, this just got a little too involved because you couldn't understand what you were reading in the TRD warranty claim. The reason I mentioned TRD warranty, and how TRD reserves the right to void their warranty on the TRD part [you're pretending that oiled filters are "wear items" that don't have a warranty?] and/or the vehicle warranty is because you chose to use the ol' Toyota TRD crutch that K&N has to be great because Toyota sells TRD parts...just thought it was time to mention that, yes, Toyota is so proud of their TRD filters, so long as they do the install, but if it's a DIY project they can renege on their filter warranty, and void your vehicle's warranty while they're at it, if they're in the mood.

You may have never heard of it, but it's still listed on their TRD warranty claim.
