No, the HKS probably isn't worse than stock. But it's just red tape one needs to be cognisant of. Personally I would just keep a stock toyota filter on hand to screw in before the truck arrives if you're really worried about your engine. If it's stock don't worry about it


Please educate yourself on the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.


As long as the oil/oil filter used meets the requirements they can't deny the warranty because factory parts weren't used unless the are willing to provide the OEM oil/oil filter for the entire warranty period.
