Anyone confirm whether this fits a D4D? I emailed him but he wasn't sure.

D4D one are the same size but have the extra filter across the front .
I have been buying D4D ones and ripping the extra filter off to get extra milage from them after the first service .
Cheers Russ

Here's a side by side of my old genuine filter and new eBay filter.



The filter material is much thicker in the genuine filter.

so are these fake then or is your one the one with the pre cleaner?

[mackayvx Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close mackayvx]

So mcgonical... do you think the ebay ones are fakes? I havent compared a 'toyoto bought' vs these ebay ones...

My final verdict is these filters are sheeiite... go spend the money on a genuine...

really? what was the difference? Is there dust on the wrong side in the airbox? are the part numbers of the two filters in the photo the same? If thats the case its a poor attempt at copying!

Yes, elaborate please. I bought one but it's still sitting in its box. Contemplated installing it this weekend. What's the issue?

Ok well ive had mine installed for about 5000km now but ive only been driving round town. Before 'installing' i made a couple of marks in the dust that was already on the 'wrong' side of the airbox to see if there was any difference. Looked at the weekend and they are still there so the cleaner obviously cleans the air....to what degree its hard to tell. I would say that this isnt genuine...little things like the rubber seal has some imperfections etc. its probably as good as any after market ryco or whatever but not as good as genuine.

Having not fitted a genuine, only Ryco etc, I think they are pretty much identical to aftermarket ones I've fitted before. I certainly haven't come across the OEM green filter posted earlier for the 1KZ.

Oh geez guys, sorry about the late reply- i havent been lurking PP for a while... My final opinion on these filters is that genuine has a twice as thick paper core compared with these ebay ones... The ebay ones were more of a similar comparioson to a Cooper branded air filter... Also the genuine had a very snug fit in the air box with a better rubber seal... Just my opinion but after buying a few off ebay Im all for the genuine producy now.
