Possible knockoff oil drain plug gasket?

I bought 10 oil drain plug gaskets each from my local dealer and Amazon (https://a.co/d/aBBFOCK), the packagings are different but can't tell difference of the gaskets.

In the side-by-side pic, dealer is on the left and amazon on the right. Is the amazon one fake?

 

I bought some knock offs on Amazon that were advertised as OEM and they wouldn't stay torqued. I could damn near loosen the drain plug by hand when I went to change the oil.
Purchased some off Ebay through a dealership and have had no problems since.

 

If effort was put into a counterfeit it’s hard to tell. Amazon makes it more difficult to tell who you’re truly buying from too between inventory commingling and de-emphasizing the seller’s name so I rather not mess with it other than cheap trinkets.

That said, I got gaskets included with my filters when I bought them at the dealer, yours might be up for tossing them in too.

 

Half the items on Amazon auto parts are knock offs now. It is a roll of the dice on and vehicle manufacturer/OEM parts or high priced sensors from denso, bosch etc. Same on ebay. Basically if it is a non dealer selling the items you are looking for issues, but also likely not getting a better price.

Metro 24 Wholesale would be a big no for me to buy from. Check their reviews and see if anyone has complained of the parts before.

 

Thanks for the responses, that's about what I thought, I'll try to see if I can get it refunded/returned, def won't use it now...

 

I suspect they are equally shitty and stick to the oil pan. Use something better: https://www.4runners.com/posts/639278

 

That's why I buy from eBay.

 

If you had 10 from the dealer, why would you get another 10 from Amazon?

 

Good question, I placed the order on Amazon first, but it was showing to arrive on Dec 9. I figured I may need to do the oil change earlier and dealer are having sales, so I picked up another 10. The amazon ones arrived early, hence the comparison. The dealer ones are actually cheaper with the sales.

 

Amazon has a lot of shady 3rd party sellers. You can see who the seller is (look under the buy it now button). Even if it says “ships from Amazon”, look who it’s sold by. 3rd party sellers can ship to Amazon warehouses and have Amazon ship their items.

I’ve been burned by non-OEM parts that are advertised as OEM before on Amazon, sold by 3rd party. I bought an O2 sensor for my other car and it was significantly different and only worked for 1 month.

Also have to watch out for fake non-car items too. Including books.

 

Most probably it is fake, just like pretty much everything else on Amazon. Fake or used.
To be absolutely safe, it's always better to get them directly from the dealer online or in store.
