For some it's not really about power, but better filtration. I remember reading an old article where someone ran a special aftermarket filter and the used oil ended up having less particulate than new oil. But there comes a point where better filtration doesn't realistically help anything...
Genuine Toyota filters are like $6 and available at the big box store. Or order from the dealer discount sites, get extras and keep them on the shelf for convenience.

Noticed that yesterday. TRD brake pads are also NLA.
We can probably assume the TRD filter was produced for toyota by someone who’s business it is to make filters.. any idea who that is as an alternate source?
I’ve been using TRD for four years but would have no problem running...
A TRD product isn't at all only meant to work with a TRD labeled vehicle. Most of them are just upgraded parts to put into standard toyotas. As such, it totally makes sense that a TRD filter would be designed to fit into a standard landcruiser.. and outside of the quality issue with these...
