Have you guys run into this, I have an 08IS350 and need to change the oil for the first time (bought used 10,000 Miles) but I cant get the oil filter housing off. I have broken 2 cheap *** "F" cap tools from autozone, should the housing be that tight? I would just go to the dealer but I have already bought 7 quarts of full synthetic oil. I think next step is buy the toyota filter tool but I dont know if it is any better, any ideas?

it may have been overtightened by whoever maintained your 2is previously.
i changed my own motor oil a few days ago, and the housing came off with a little bit of elbow grease.
try the filter wrench recommended by BounceNY, and if all else fails take your 2is to a shop w/ a lift and have them change the oil for you.
