Picked this one from pepboys for under $10: http://www.pepboys.com/product/detai...54/?quantity=1.
Tried 65mm, but that was spinning around and barely gripping edges with its rounded end.
This one fits like a glove (also semi-fits 65mm filter for my bike)

I changed my oil and filter yesterday. Thanks to this forum for the tips. In my 2010, there is no need to remove any plastic shroud or any cover. The oil filter assembly is accessible and the oil drain plug. I did remove the plastic undertray but realized I did not have to. The torques are easy to remember. Its 10-20-30 ft-lbs. 10 for the oil assembly drain cap, 20 for the oil filter drum and 30 for the oil drain plug.

One thing I do that most don't do seeing the oil filter goes on straight up, is full the filter canister with oil BEFORE reinstalling to get oil faster to the engine on start-up................

Funny thing my 2000 RX300 was the same way, no jacketing to get at the filter or drain plug.

I do that all the time for my X5.

i just changed my oil on monday (the 7th) and it is right at the full mark with 6 qts added and new filter. so why they claim 6.5 qts is beyond me?

And just a friendly reminder... you never never have to fill the oil to the max. The oil level is perfect as long as it's in between the min and max marks on the dipstick. Over filling the oil, even by 1/4 qt, can and will do damage.

Any favorite sources for filter kits? There are a bunch on Amazon - just wondering which ones you guys like? Looking for the filter element, gaskets, and drain plug crush washer.
Thanks.
Thanks.

i get the filters on ebay. Original Toyota filters with gaskets can be found $5 each in a pack of 5. Also packs of 10 crush washers can be found cheap, IIRC they are just M12 aluminum, copper or fiber washers.
