Oil Filter Wrench

Hbum · 12-24-2007, 10:01 AM

I'm looking for an oil filter wrench for a Toyota 90915-YZZD1 filter, used on a 2000 4Runner. Seems Toyota reduced the OD of the filters and my old wrench does not fit. I want a cap type wrench with a 3/8 inch square hole for a ratchet wrench. A CTA A254 looks to be the right size. It's available from Autopart.com.

Can anyone confirm that this is the correct size?

Is Autopart.com an OK place to buy?

Thanks!

I have a Craftsman universal oil wrench...works on just about anything.

I like the socket style too. you should be able to find them at your local autoparts store, and take the filter in and check that its the right fit. they run around $3-4.

I have one, but on my 22re i've never needed it because for some reason the filter is never that tight when i go to remove it. it seems to be just as tight as when i put it on. every other engine i've worked on they get tighter as they're used

A strap style wrench will let you reach the filter from the top on the v6 engines.

Best oil filter wrench i've ever used was recommenced to me by a few quick lube techs that had all kinds of filter wrenches.
I bought one a couple weeks ago at thetoolwarehouse.net

This is what most Toyota techs will use to reach the filter from the top.

I have used strap wrenches, prefer the cap type. Local Pep Boys has the type I want, not the size I need. Just trying to confirm the part number of the CTA wrench before I ask PB to special order or order online.

Thanks for the replies.
