Oil change without a filter

Toyota put a tech tip out to dealers in Canada concerning the use of a proper SSTool so as not to strip the housings. The stamped steel units are the worst... but there are a couple of wrenches that work better than the rest... this one won't get stuck or strip. I suspect it will take stripped housings off even.

It helps to use some torque on the cup wrench by using a longer extension when removing the end cap sometimes.

That's a kickazz tool! It beats the snot out of the fluted cup, and it's dead simple. The only thing I don't like about it is the 3/8" drive. If it were 1/2" drive it would be in my toolbox...
I always use 1/2" drive tools on the filter housing. It needs a lot of torque to break the seal, and an 18" breaker bar is easy to tension and tap to get the filter housing moving.
