    Lots of fake Toyota 'OEM' parts on Amazon and especially ebay. Shop wisely.

    I feel the same way about oil. Mobile 1 has the top sealed which could still be fake. The main reason I change my own oil is because I don't know if I'm getting the synthetic oil I'm paying for. This is such shit.

    Toyota Dealers are there to make profits too. That said, I would think the sources of the things they sell is up to their decision, as long as they don’t think it would compromise/violate the Toyota brand’s contract.:notsure:

    I doubt that these are fake. The Amazon link shows the seller to be a Toyota dealer in Daytona. The video you linked has the following comment.
