just go to autozone and get it, toyota has the same 1 but with a premium and just spin the filter on until it's snug and then give it a 1/4 to half turn and you should be able to get the filters off with your hand everytime

Mine is 74MM, From flat bend point across the cup to bend point. It's snug, so go for metal rather than plastic.
