I have a 2006 GS300 RWD, and it's time for an oil change. I've always changed my own oil, but this car's filter looks very different. I understand it's a canister type of filter, but the replacement filter came with a plastic connector like thing to apparently drain the oil filter before removing it (?)

Does anyone have instructions on doing this? Is there a special tool involved? There is a cap on the filter that looks like it could unscrew, but looks like a special tool is needed to do it...

Any help appreciated!

I drive an ES350, but it sounds like the same setup. Changing a canister filter is easy and straightforward - no special tools, just a 12" or so length of hose. You should have no trouble adapting these instructions for your GS.

you don't have to use the plastic drain either if you don't want, just realize when you crack open the cover that oil will spill everywhere...
