The parts - filter with gasket, $7.08 at the dealer

You will also need a smal gasket for the drain plug. $2.00 at the dealer

A special service tool. Check out - http://toyota.spx.com/
The part number is 09228-06501

With shipping, tax, and everything, the SST cost $40.24. SPX Corporation provided very good service and shipped the tool promptly. SPX accepts major credit cards.

Here's the little access door for the oil filter housing

There are 3 bolts holding the door. Use a 10mm socket.

Removing the cap on the filter housing is a bear!

You must use the SST. A standard oil filter wrench will not work and will strip the housing.

When you reinstall the housing, oil the gasket and the housing threads.

The SST may adhere to the housing

I have a suggestion for Toyota: Form the housing to accept a 3/8" drive and eliminate the need for an SST. Why require a special tool to remove the housing? I can see only two reasons: (1) discourage people from performing their own maintenence and (2) increase sales for high profit margin tools.
