I'm still waiting for my Motivx wrench attachment from Amazon (the seller must be having supply problems because it's been "arriving soon" for 2 weeks). It seems tough to do the change without one of these... is it possible to do the removal with common tools? Thanks.

If you have a 12 point socket large enough or you can use one those oil filter removal tools (below). If you go with an oil filter removal tool, make sure you put something in between the tool and the housing.

I highly recommend the filter wrench below. A little expensive, but very well made and grabs the filter cap securely:



I also recommend the filter filter cap assembly below as a replacement to the OE plastic one my 07 LWB had:

AZGS4 thanks for the special wrench link. I ordered one. The one I currently use sticks every time.

This housing comes with the plug for a few dollars more.

Wal-Mart sells the oil filter wrench like $10 and it works for all Toyota/Lexus 64mm.

In use the one with the notches and use a 27mm socket to loosen and tighten. You can use a standard 3/8 socket end but if the cap is on to tight you can strip out the hole for the socket. I also replaced my plastic housing one for the metal one. Works better when you go to tighten back on.
