What oil filter wrench with part number is everyone using? I have done a few searches but everyone just mentions "SST" tools which come in a variety of sizes. I have also looked at another thread where someone mentions a "ABN 360" but the documentations says this is only good for the previous gen GS. Anyone have a part number of a wrench that they are actually using?

I would search O Reily auto parts and find one. I found one for my 14RX for $5.00. Prices are all over the place for filter wrench's. Toyota wanted $59.00 for my application. O Reily will have one thats reasonable.

Search for TOY640 on Amazon.

Buy an SST tool for your model of Lexus directly from your local Lexus dealer.

Buying one from the dealer will cost a fortune. Aftermarket works just fine and is much cheaper. $60 for a wrench from the dealer is ridiculous!

I agree. Hence the reason for me to look at an aftermarket one. I was able to find one on eBay that said it would work with my wife's 13' GS350. I will report back with the part number and the one I purchased so other members can look for an alternative option if need be.

Have you verified that one has worked with our cars? I couldn't find any info on it.

Why not just buy one locally? Just look online at O Riely,Advanced Auto or Auto zone in your area the site will tell you if it's in stock in your area. Like I said mine was only $5 at O reily's around the corner from my house.

My local stores don't carry them. The staff didn't seem to know what I needed which didn't inspire confidence that I would be getting the correct tool. That is why it's nice to have part numbers of what tools actually work. Hopefully I can fix that in this thread when my tool arrives.

Yes, already used it on my car and it works great. Note you need a 15/16 or 24mm socket to go with it.

Solid build quality and doesn't deform and cause the housing to get stuck like the cheaper filter wrenches.

I'm shocked.
I purchased my SST tool from a local dealer 5 years ago for about $25!

I purchased from the Toyota dealer, I kept reading about either the tools would break or that they would round off the corners of the canister. Didn't want either and just went the safe route.

I just wanted to update this thread, but did end up making a "how to" oil change video on youtube for our cars. The video also contains the part number of the oil filter tool (SST) I used. Hopefully this comes in handy for some members.
