I called my dealership parts department to order a special tool like this...but they claimed ignorance of this tool...saying their mechanics buy whatever they can find on the market and that Toyota doesn't manufacture a special tool like this one. This tool fit my 2008 Toyota Sienna CE oil filter housing perfectly. The photo shown above is not the same tool, it is actually silver colored and is cast aluminum, and has no hole in the middle. It's internal width measures 64.24 mm by dial caliper. To operate it, I used a 15/16 deep socket attached to a large torque wrench. This creates a snugger fit than the other persons suggestion to use a 24mm socket. The removal nut is a 6 sided hex measuring .919 inches. A 15/16 socket fits this tighter than 24 mm does. Unfortunately for me, the stealership from La Vista, NE, (Perf...), had previously done my oil changes and they seriously overtorqued the oil filter housing the last time they changed it. You are only supposed to torque it on at 25 N m (only about 18 lb ft) to install it, but guess what? My 1/2 socket driver, two foot long torque wrench was set to 87 lb ft and it came loose at some force beyond 87 lb ft because the wrench clicked well before it loosened. (This is the same stealership that tried to tell me my warranty was voided if I didn't rotate my tires.) The plastic $5 Fram oil filter wrench from "stuff-mart" is for 65/67 mm, not 64 mm like the oil filter housing appears to actually be. I think that's why this Assenmacher wrench part number ASTTOY640 has the number 64 in it, because it's meant for a 64mm fluted housing. I tried modding the plastic Fram one as someone else suggested by sawing off the 67 mm portion to no avail...it slips anyway. This Assenmacher filter wrench is awesome for stuck filter housings...it works so much better than the plastic filter wrenches. Don't waste your money on the plastic ones that are the wrong size, buy this one instead. And if you have a Sienna minivan, the oil change was easier than I thought...no plastic splash guard with a zillion plastic screws to remove...just jack up the right front a couple inches and it's really easy to access. And one final tip: don't leave the small o ring on the oil filter housing when you go to insert the special plastic tubing adaptor to drain your filter housing before removal. My new paper element filter came with the drain tool and had instructions in the box which showed the o ring being left on. Don't do it, it'll make a mess because you'll have to hold the draining device on by hand for 5 minutes and it will leak. It's supposed to insert, click and lock into place for hands free draining of the oil from inside the filter housing, but to get it to do this the small o ring has to be out of the way.

I am a Technician for a Lexus Dealership, I use this tool constantly through out my day to take of oil filter canisters, it is very strong and well made. I've have broken other filter wrenches similar to this wrench when attempting to break a oil filter loose that is on too tight, in less time then i have had this oil filter wrench. This wrench has held up through everything I put it through. It has no play and fits very snug on the oil filter canisters. I highly recommend this tool.Best Deals for Assenmacher Specialty Tools TOY 640 Oil Filter Socket Wrench

I tried about 4 different parts store filter wrenches that did not work. This one worked like a champ! The only issue is that there is no 3/8 socket hole like in the picture. You have to put a socket over the big hex. Not a big deal, but makes it a bit harder to hold on while on your back.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Assenmacher Specialty Tools TOY 640 Oil Filter Socket Wrench
I just purchased this filter wrench to change the oil in my 2009 Toyota Corolla S. (Toyota really dropped the ball in the design and location of the oil filter on this model car!) The first time I tried to change the oil in my new car I got only frustration using all of my many existing filter wrenches! I have been changing my own oil for 30 years and will continue to do it until I physically can't. I know it's done right when I do it myself. Dealerships rob you for simple services like this and the corner quick oil change shops might just ruin your vehicle due to incompetent or lazy employees or speeding to get the job done these days.Toyota engineers need a good old fashioned spanking for this crappy design in my opinion! After visiting my local Toyota dealership looking for the correct tool only to get the "sorry, we do not offer a tool for sale" responce, I googled it and found this tool. I was impressed when the tool arrived. Very simple and strong design and it fits and works perfectly. It's made of thick and strong aluminum with a molded in 15/16 bolt head for socket and ratchet attachment. This tool transformed a very frustrating and difficult task into a snap. I had worked for over an hour before and broke a strap wrench trying to remove the plastic filter cover without damaging or breaking the cover. With this tool the job was finished in 20 minutes. And to my surprise it has "MADE IN USA" stamped on top of the tool!!!! It made me feel great to use this tool and know It was working perfectly and I had not been robbed buying it and to top it off I was supporting an "AMERICAN WORKER" in the process!!! HOO RAH!!
