Hmmm... Do you know for sure? If this is true then maybe I will switch to Subaru filters.

Really? Hmm...maybe an optical illusion then. I was very sure it looked to be a smaller diameter than the O.E. Subaru filter. Perhaps not as small as the blue filters I have seen on the shelf at the Subie dealer, but still not the same. Are you sure it was the 15208AA130 filter you were comparing it to?
Yes. If you have both filters, give them a squeeze with your hand...you can feel the difference. There is nothing wrong with the Toyota filter, and switching brands over a tiny difference in material thickness isn't necessary.
My post wasn't meant to bash the Toyota filter...someone asked about differences, and I stated my observations.
