Has anyone beside me noticed the sources for maintenance supplies are essentially the same big "super sites" and much of the things they handle are other than OEM?
For some years it was easy to find dealers that sold oem maint. parts reasonably. Last year I bought air and cabin filters (total of 4) for the Avalon & Highlander delivered and were Denso and oem brands for $54 total.

That's because an enterprising Toyota parts department has a wholesale account with the super site.
the sad thing is Ray that there are damned few listings - I have tried to find an air filter for our 05 3.5 Avalon not one site carried one except the K & N.
The exact same filters I got last year (for $54) are just about $100 at the dealer with tax.

Do a search for Discount Toyota parts and look for the best price, then bounce it off one of these guys.
The best (as far as I have been able to find) Toyota parts site, is
