you can probably get away with a "F" size cup from autozone, but for future use you might want to get one of these http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/asttoy640.html

I bought it from Walmart, you'll need the Imperial 65/67mm - 14 Flutes, it's only $3.26 last time I checked.

If you need help, check out my guide - link in the sig.

I'll echo the endorsement for the TOY640. Before buying one I tried a stamped metal "F" wrench that stretched out of shape and started slipping, and a plastic wrench like they sell at WalMart that broke apart, leaving me with a bloody hand.

I'm too old to be crawling under the car to change the oil/filter in a Lexus. For those who like to do this to save a few bucks, fine. But I go the the Lexus dealer and they do it for $50, and then I pay for it in points from my Lexus Visa card. So net cost is zero to me.

Cjeck out this thread:

As I said in the thread, mine cost me $4.18, and works like a charm.

I don't do it to save a few bucks, I do my own maintenance because I enjoy working on my car. It gives me a sense of satisfaction, and I know it's done right.

We drive $35k+ cars.....do you really think dropping $50 on an oil change will keep us up at night?
