For people like me, CTA 2460 fit well and did the job. Walmart hyper tough is too loose and slips. Penzoil Toyota wrench broke the filter and started bending. Saved you 7 minutes.
Because I change the oil myself and I don't let mechanics touch my car for an easy thing like an oil change, both Hyper Tough and Pennzoil tools are good for both of my vehicle's 2007 Toyota Sienna which I use the Pennzoil tool for, and 2021 Camry Hybrid which hyper tough works the best for it because the space is narrow and I need a low profile tool. So, the hyper tough works well with the Camry which uses filter YZZN1, and the Pennzoil tool works well for my Sienna which takes filter YZZA1. The bottom line, don't let quick lube shops mess with your car, because they're going to over torque the canister filter.
This video shows what the issues are with that cartridge and the types of wrenches. The main issue is the gorillas at the dealership always over torque the canisters. I changed the oil in my 2020 Tacoma at 4,000 before the 1st Toyota care oil change. It was so easy to get off the factory didn't over tighten but after the dealership changed my oil at 10,000 miles my filter was hard to get off. I had one of the filter wrench with the tabs. Definitely don't get those or ones made of stamped steel like his pennzoil one. The tabs will get broken if you aren't careful with an over tightened cartridge. The one he got at the dealership and MotivX that only grips the flutes is the best. Also these cartridges don't need torqued on much. In fact on my truck I only turn it until the plastic cartridge is fully seated in the housing and then hand tighten slightly more, I don't have any leaks. The seal is made by the o ring and having it in the correct spot as shown on the Toyota filter box not by making to over tight
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!, for your post. I replaced my 2009 Corolla with a 2010 and attempted my first oil change on this car yesterday and guess what, I could not remove the oil filter cap with my phenolic type filter wrench. On my first Corolla I had the same issue every time after the dealer did an oil change. I called the dealer to see if they would loosen the cap for me as they have had to do in the past. They said they could fit me in yesterday afternoon. I asked if there would be a charge, they hadn't done the last oil change on this car. I was quoted $20. I decided to see what a wrench might cost so I started searching the internet, so many choices and a lot of negative comments about them even the more expensive ones. I then thought I would try CZcams for a comparison and found your post. I then went looking for a CTA 2460, which I got today. I needed to use my 1/2" breaker bar to break it loose, I'm guessing it took about 50ftlb but the wrench handled it. The hardest part was getting the wrench off the cap afterwards. Again, THANK YOU for your post.
We had bought the specific wrench for these but later I discovered that the standard wrench to fit say 51396 filter works on these perfectly, that wrench came out many years before Toyota came out with their cartridge filters.
The OEM toyota wrench is also like the Oreilys one mentioned here, It's supposed to be a bit loose, helps it not get stuck to the housing when tightening. They key to a good wrench is the materials and the casting. My Motivex tool fits all the way to the top but gets stuck every F***** time... Ended up getting the Toyota OEM tool and never have had any issues
@CyberdyneSystemsLLC I thought about that, but I put my trust into Baxter Performance. It is a nice quality piece: I don't drive this vehicle that much.....10 k per year. I hope to get an oil pressure reading from someone with the bigger scan tool, thinking that this 07 Lexus GS350 will have that available to compare to factory specs. The flow holes on the adapter look bigger than those on a spin on filter. Thanks for the reply.
I was a bit surprised to find out our local Toyota dealer did not sell a Toyota brand OEM tool for removal of the filter housing, especially knowing how often these housings get stuck and crack when people (DIYers as well as professionals) try to remove them using tools available that may not be high quality. It took me by surprise to hear the guy at the dealer parts dept tell me "we don't sell a Toyota one. We sell an aftermarket brand." But at least the tool they sold us was manufactured better than the other two and did remove the stuck filter housing.
Thanks for taking the time to share your pain and resolution to this type of filter. All sorts of wrenches out there I will definitely look at the one you recommended and demonstrated. Stay Safe!
Not sure why Toyota went with this design of a filter housing. Other makes i.e., Hyundai Kia BMW Audi has the 27mm grab right on the housing. Easy twist off and on
You get what you pay for. That said, I'd probably only use a Genuine Toyota wrench, MotiveX, Snap-on/Bluepoint or Lisle. The CTA is ok but still a little loose for my taste.
I’m a Toyota tech and I see that happen a lot those cheap oil filter cups break the housing if anyone out there is looking for a good oil filter cup I use the motivx mx2320-us I like those or if you’re willing to spend the money the blue point OFTOY468 is also a good option
Since I'm a recently converted Toyota owner (tired of getting abused by GM and Ford) I went ahead and got the 2320 Motivx oil filter socket - definitely worth the money.
I bought the good wrench at a local Toyota dealer. Went to the parts department and asked for a Toyota brand wrench from the guy at the desk, assuming Toyota made one. To my surprise, the guy told me they don't sell one made by Toyota. They sell a wrench made by CTA Manufacturing Corporation, part number is 2460. I paid 21 dollars plus tax at the Toyota dealer. This is the only wrench out of the three brands that had a proper fit and worked. So just make a trip to your local Toyota dealer parts department and ask for the wrench. Take the VIN (vehicle identification number) for your car, because they actually sell two different sizes since not all Toyota cars/models use the same size cartridge filter housing. They might give you the wrong size wrench if you don't have them confirm fitment via the VIN. Good luck to you!
Not sure. I would suggest going to your nearest Toyota dealer and asking which wrench will fit your specific vehicle. That's what I did when purchasing the one I used, which is designed to fit my nephew's 2016 4 cylinder engine.
Great job Tio. It never crossed my mind to let others know how to minimize stress when changing the oil filter. 👍🏼🍻
“Stay Up”

This video is the real deal right here. These filter housings GET TIGHT. Thank you for sharing this. Gonna save me time and money.
Glad to help

Very useful. Going to start doing my own oil changes. 2014 Toyota Venza. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the video, saved me a headache👍🏼
Glad it helped!
Very informative.. thank you!
Tb much appreciated hermano don't know why I even bothered with the Walmart one I'll give the CTA piece 🤙
Thank you for this vid!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
You're welcome! Always good to know someone has benefitted.
I have a CTA model 2465 which has the fit of your CTA one + the grooves of your Pennzoil one.
I purchased a Baxter Performance: cartridge to spin on oil filter adapter for my Lexus gs350. A bit expensive but I can now use spin on oil filters.

I have a 2015 Corolla which one should I used? 🤔🧐
Thank you!!
Never let a dealership change your oil. always do it yourself.
I just did my sister's Tundra. And cracked the housing too, it was super tight. Now has a metal filter cap(Dorman).
Whats is for toyota 2018 902 or 903?
Thanks for taking the time to share your pain and resolution to this type of filter. All sorts of wrenches out there I will definitely look at the one you recommended and demonstrated. Stay Safe!

Where I buy filter wrench,Toyota dealer or Honda or some where else.Thank you
Thanks
Thank you ❤
Welcome!
Assenmacher TOY 640 works great.

Excellente, pero demasiada platica

If you over tight this filter canister none of these wrench works

Will this work with a 2012 rav4 with the 2.5 engine ?

@@tijuanaboy3818 I purchased the wrench the next day after leaving the comment and it fit great. Thanks for the video!
Get a motivx
really useful video！do not get the walmart one…useless！
DO NOT USE THE FILTER WRENCHES THAT HAVE THE TEETH!!!! THEY WILL BREAK YOUR PLASTIC FILTER. The Hypertough worked perfectly on my Highlander.
ᎮᏒᎧᎷᎧᏕᎷ 🤣
You can’t over tighten these canisters…C’mon man
