    Yeah, I'm not sure... maybe not the cat directly? If the car is burning oil, that might cause the cat and the sensor to go bad? I would check the sensor that replaced the one with the heavy carbon deposits (the supposed fake one) to see if the latest sensor is getting similarly soiled.

    Also, I don't think he ever mentioned what happened post replacement - if his mileage improved.

    Nice info. I checked brake actuator 44500-47141 and it carts at $1000.10 That's a pretty good price for an OEM new actuator.

    Will they deliver though? I was going to order 10 oil filters and they were pickup only after I put in my Virginia address.

    Don't do that: if you do: you're almost guaranteed to total the car.

    Superstitious much? ;)
    As long as it is not my fault and I am uninjured, like with my 2017 Prius. A 4Runner driver was at fault on that case.
    My son bought the same filters for his 2023 RAV4 Prime. The Toyota 2,5L engine is very common and the filter likely works with other engines too.
