Lexus ES 350 oil change
I'm looking for Special Service Tool (SST) to remove the oil filter housing (ES 350 with 12,000 miles). I have used walmart stuff (cap style wrench). But for some reason it is on so tight. Where can I buy one?

I think one of the supporting vendors here sells them. Might want to try a search.....I think that has been asked not long ago. :thumbup:

Try one of the vendors like he said. Have you had your oil changed before, or is this the first one? |

just use a standard socket wrench..... tighten up the drain plug... then torque it free so the whole unit comes out.. then use a bench clamp to hold the cap while you take out the drain plug...

You can get one through your lexus dealer. I can find the part number on mine tomorrow. I'm not sure on the price though.

try your local/chain auto part stores, they have oil filter sockets, autozone has them next to the oil filters

I've tried them all--well, at least the ones that can be had at your neighborhood Autozone/Kragens/Pep Boys--it's either because none of them work or else the filter housing is super-torqued on there.

Which oil and filter
My dealer states to use Penzoil Synthetic 5W-30 oil for my next oil change at 10K. What oil filter should I use? I plan on purchasing that Service Tool in a week or so. I have used to many wrenches that don't work on other cars and I am done with it. I'll just buy the thing and be done with it. I haven't changed the oil yet in this car but am not wanting to pay the $40 my dealer is wanting to charge. Not to mention the $25 for the tire rotation. Any feedback on the filter is appreciated.

My garage guy just gets the Toyota oil filter "insides" and replaces it.

Toyota/Lexus filters are the only way to go, quality-wise. I always buy mine from the local Toyota dealer. The part # is 04152-YZZA1. I've purchased the air filters (cabin & engine) from there too. |
$14 oil change/filter at my local Toyota dealer (with coupon)
No mess and out in 30 mins. |
^^^^ good deal
|
does anyone else sell the paper filter element, cause I just pick them up at Toyota for half the price of Lexus
