2005 Taco Oil Filter Wrench

all,

Wanting to start changing my oil in my 2005 Tacoma, tired of the long lines and wait time at dealership!

Question -> where can I buy oil filter wrench that will work with Toyota OEM filter that is on my Tacoma? I always have been using OEM oil filter.

Please provide link if possible

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

 

I got this set after trying a few singles that didn’t fit right, I always hand tighten but still need the wrench to remove. The middle size works for my Tacoma and the small size works for my John Deere.

Will this work on the Toyota OEM oil filter? Thanks

 

I use this from Walmart. Works on all sizes. $5

Shouldn't need one if you have the 4.0L unless someone severely overtightened the filter, it's right on top.

 

That’s all I use is the oem filters.

 

I hand tighten and am never able to remove the filter without a wrench.

 

I use a similar one for my 1996 2.7L. Because the filter sits up under the right control arm, it was always hard to get enough purchase with a socket type, but this works perfectly.

Install with only hand tightening.

 

Works with multiple sizes, OEM or aftermarket in case you ever need to switch to Denso or Bosch.

 

I tighten until it touches then a quarter to a half turn. Never anymore and I can get it off by hand. Never a leak. I use OEM filters.

 

Same here, 4500-5500 mile intervals.

 

I see several direct answers to your question. I've a 2007 V6, and never use a wrench to remove (nor install) the oil filter. To consistently be able to remove by hand I had always wiped CLEAN the engine mating surface, LIGHTLY oiled (with new oil) the rubber gasket on the new filter, screwed the new filter into place and when it CONTACTED the metal surface only turned a QUARTER of a turn further! NEVER, NEVER have I had a leak afterwards!

 

On my 07 V6... hand tighten and use this type of wrench to remove. Done around 25 oil changes with zero issues.

 

I use one like this from Harbor Freight. I hand tighten but always need something to remove them.

 

Thanks for everyone's feedbacks! Much appreciated.

 

With the last two oil changes I did on my 4.0 I poked a hole in the top of the oil filter and let the oil pan drain before I removed the filter. It seems to aid in removing the oil in the filter and causing less of a mess when I remove it.

 

I recco you get the bundle when its in stock but I'd go with this. Its recommended a lot here in TW.

Wrong info right here…..

 

Not sure what’s wrong about it, maybe I have a better grip than everyone else but I don't often need a tool to get a spin-on filter off that is out in the open

If you do need a tool to get it off you can pretty much use anything that fits around the filter, it doesn't need to be anything special.

 

Which ever brand you get - it’s 64mm 14 flute for the OEM filters.

Screw the filter on until it touches metal and then give it another 1/4 to 1/3 turn (it should be quite hand tight at that point).
