Default NX Oil Filter wrench / attachment

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong thread category, but does anyone know whether the oil filter tool for the NX is just generic size for all models or is it a specific size? Found some on Amazon, but just want to make sure I order the right one. Thanks in advance!

It looks like it might work. I got mine from a Toyota dealer when I had my Venza. The same one works for the NX. I had a generic one that fit but not tight enough and would slip while turning, the filter housing would not turn. The only way to be sure the one you buy will work is to get the Toyota/Lexus one.

Great thanks!! I guess I'll check with the dealer then... just to be sure!

i would avoid the shiny looking one. that one appears to be "stamped" metal.

This one is cast aluminum and should be stronger
