I have a relatively new-to-me 2013 ES300h and it's time for the second oil change.  When I did the first oil change, I was rather disappointed to see that the filter housing (or cover, as it's called on the parts diagrams) was made of plastic.  I see aftermarket housings made of aluminum from a number of companies, but I'm not sure I trust the quality, especially that company that starts with "D" and rhymes with an old boxer's last name.  I wouldn't be surprised if the other brands are all made in the same factory.  Anyway, let's just say I've had bad luck with aftermarket parts. 

I have poked around on the Toyota parts websites, but Toyota doesn't tell me what other models that part fits unless that model takes the same part number.  Hollander Interchange does the same thing.  Has anyone replaced their plastic housing with an OEM aluminum housing?  If so, would you be so kind as to provide the Toyota part number?

Thanks in advance.

By the way, my car didn't quite fit in with the forum breakdown.  There's a forum that lists ES300h, but that's for 2019 to present model years.  The forum that covers my model year only lists ES350/ES350h.  I didn't know where to post it, so I went with the model year that matched my car.  If this should go somewhere else, please let me know (and sorry if I missed it).
