Review on πŸ”§ Tool Guy Republic Forged Chrome Vanadium Oil Filter Wrench Socket - 64mm 14 Flats, Compatible with Toyota, Lexus, Scion, and Various Type Oil Filter Housings by Victor Hurvitz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buy Now If you change the oil yourself (Toyota)

Almost killed trying to remove the plastic/nylon cartridge filter housing on a 2016 RAV 4 Hybrid. The torque spec is only 18 ft-lbs, but apparently these things are easy to overtighten or lock up on their own. (All previous oil changes were done by the dealer). I've used a dial indicator torque wrench and increased it (100 ft lbs) to no avail. I ended up having to use my damn leg/foot as a leg press to get enough strength to move this thing (which I quickly replaced with an aluminum I also bought from Revain). Do yourself a favor, buy one of these and be done with it for the rest of your life. Cheaper than a trip to an ambulance or emergency room to cheaply treat wounds before they rupture.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Communication with seller
