Anyway, it wouldn't really cost any extra to have a different logo printed on the filter housing, so Toyota dealers will probably get Toyota branded filters.
so i'm guessing all frs/brz/86 that leave the factory will have a subaru filter (built in a subaru factory), but when you have the dealer do an oil change for you, they'll most likely use their 'own' brand of filters?
