hints:
it's from a Toyota.
it's self induced.
(in other words I screwed up & it almost cost me an engine)

That wouldn't almost cost an engine. I'm with SD - I think it's a fuel filter too.

Does look like fuel filter innards. Didja hook it up backwards?

Oil filter is correct.
filter is designed to slide over a ported cage (offering structural support to the filter)
cage is suppose to be permanently fixed to the base of the cannister housing.
mine came out with the old filter (unrecognized) & went in the trash.
(What cannister should look like with cage in place)
New filter collapsed & oil flow was restricted.
daughters 2008 Avalon made a 200 mile trip starved of oil.( but made it home)
she realized something was wrong.....but she is not an "ole car guy"
