I think many of us assume that when we buy parts online in a Toyota box that they are genuine. I will be paying more attention to where my parts are coming from from now on.

Time to check the filters I got on Amazon, all of them are from Thailand and purchased through a dealer

ebay, facebook marketplace, amazon are thieves' and counterfeiter's paradise... I deal with this on a daily basis at work.

I think I pay just over 4 bucks each for oil filters from the dealer. Usually buy 6 at a time.
I know there are a lot of counterfeit Denso coils sold for the 2UZ.

Same with Denso plugs. I got fake ones for the Prius on Amazon. They refunded me no questions asked when I said they were fake.
How did you figure out they were fake?
After hearing it was a thing, I googled it and found articles that showed what the minor cosmetic differences were in both the packaging and the plugs.
Don at American Toyota is your friend. That's where I get all of my Toyota parts.
I have ordered some parts from Vescovo Toyota of Las Cruces, the prices are competitive even with shipping included.

So if parts are no longer supported by Toyota, where do you go, what brand do you trust?
I’m shocked that plug wires for an early 88 v6 4Runner are no longer supported

You can get Denso and Aisin at Rockauto. Though, after what David said about his fake Denso experience I'm starting to wonder. They are a supporting vendor at MUD so I hope they sell the real deal.

Need help identifying genuine Denso 90919-02230 coil packs from fakes
Hi Folks, Seeking help from users who can help identify fake “Denso – Made in Japan” stamped coil packs. It seems to me that manufacturers in China are making these, complete with the Toyota barcode label. I bought some of these 90919-02230, but can return for refund thanks to PayPal...
