Installed an E-Z oil drain 10k miles ago and just got the chance to use it for the first oil/filter change. Wow, here are some pics. I screwed the extension tube to the drain valve and slowly opened the drain into my catch bucket. Fantastic, great to be able to regulate the drain speed with NO splashing!!
Mine is a 2012 so I have the cartridge filter and a few years ago upgraded to a metal filter holder and kept the Toyota plastic holder as a spare. It is a good idea to use the plastic insert with a length of 5/8 inch hose to relieve the pressure before unscrewing the body!!! Saves a pressure spray of oil from messing up your day!!. The insert also releases the first of two O rings when removed. After the housing is removed you can see the filter and look thru the pleats for metal filings, I found a few on my first filter replacement at 5k miles and one or two since but none for a while, found one today. Now at 79,990 miles.
I may have to upload pics over two posts, lets see how many I can share here.
