Thanks, I will need go buy a 24mm socket then. I also checked the Walmart tool(which I will be returning), and it's 65/67mm so the TOY640 should fit better.

I just bought it from ToolSource.com(here). It's currently $15.90+8.95(shipping), if anyone needs it.

Just an update: Got the TOY640 today and went to buy a socket for it. Turns out the 23mm fits much better than the 24mm and has no play, so I bought that one.

Just some information on my experience changing oil for the first time on my RX. Yesterday I read the e-mails and advice on this site that were excellent and verified that only a metal 64 mm oil filter housing socket works. I was going to order the Assenmacher Toy 640 from an internet source ( ie. Amazon @ $14.50) after buying a $5.00 super graphite socket from Kragen that kept slipping off the housing. Since my local Lexus dealer did not have this socket, I contacted the Toyota dealership. The metal socket I bought from them was manufactured by CTA in Taiwan and cost $12.09. I also picked up the oil filter kit ( Part No. 04152-YZZA1) for only $7.03. I used a 3/8" drive 3 inch extension and 8 inch long breaker bar with the 64 mm socket to loosen the filter cap that seemed to be over tightened.

Once I had the right socket, the oil change took less than an hour to complete. The plastic drain tube for the filter housing is quite ingenous and minimizes the oil spillage from the canister style oil filters.
