This is taking OCD to extreme but there it is - Toyota Oil Filter wrench (1 Viewer)

[rhyary]

Toyota oil filter tool finally came from SPX after waiting 6 months for it. It is so pretty that I may not use it in fear of it getting dirty. LOL

 

[mot]

Cool!

I have had one of those in my tool box since 1979. It also fits the now-defunct 15601-44011 oil filter that was used on the 20 and 22R motors.

cdan,
Is yours still shiny clean. Bhahahaha

But seriously, the idea to get it came to me after I couldn't find this style big enough at NAPA, and I was strugling with getting the oil filter off coming from the side with regular band like wrench or a strap. This will make it a breeze...

If they have these in stock, you may want to get it. It takes forever if they go out of stock.
It is $17 plus shipping

 

[cruiserdan]

Very few people still use the large filter.

 

[rhyary]

Sheesh, all of a sudden smaller is better?

 

[cruiserdan]

I didn't say that..

Was wondering if SPX made an oil filter wrench for 90915-20004 oil filter?

Use your hand wuss!

 

[rhyary]

I did but I am a wuss and couldn't get it to open. :-(

I do tighten it only by hand though.

I didn't say that..

Really though? Are most using the smaller filters?

I have read aguments that weigh in on both sides.... what I took away was this:

Larger = more filtration
Smaller = less time to get oil to the motor

cdan - what do you use?

 

[sjcruiser]

I'd use this when my palm grip does not work

 

[OGBeno]

This is somewhat OCD...

You still need more to be officially, certifiably, OCD.

cdan - what do you use?

I'm pretty sure that he said in another thread that he use the small one

 

[BrotherRob]

Use your hand wuss!

That's what I was thinking.

I guess his hand isn't shiny enough.

Who needs a wrench for an oil filter?

 

[Brentbba]

I'd bet Cdan is using the smaller 'good' 20004 filter. He certainly had enough troube convincing Japan to send him his large dealer order on them!

 

[cruiserdan]

Yup.

The small one is easier to snake in and out and it does not dump a pint of dirty oil all over the front axle housing when you remove it.

That's not oil, it's an intermittently-applied-rust-minimizing-agent
