A DIYer looking for a good after market tool that you use that works without damage to the plastic canister in the 2021 ES350 V6. I have seen the tools that grab the 14 flukes as well as having several notches that fit into the plastic vertical wings on the canister sides that users reported breaking the wings and gives a no good. The dealer has one but crazy at $90. The dealer OEM tool has no notches only fits on the 14 flukes of the canister. Am I correct the tool should be 64mm to fit the 14 flukes.  

Thanks all

You’re correct that the tool should be 64mm to fit the 14 flutes of the canister. For your 2021 Lexus ES350, an aftermarket tool that fits this specification without damaging the plastic canister is essential.

One highly recommended option is the Motivx Tools Oil Filter Wrench. This tool is designed specifically for Toyota, Lexus, and Scion vehicles with cartridge-style oil filter systems. It fits the 64.3mm 14-flute canister filters, including the plastic ones used in your ES350. The Motivx tool is made from high-quality materials and doesn’t have the notches that could potentially damage the plastic wings on the canister.

This should be a more affordable and reliable alternative to the dealer’s OEM tool. Happy DIYing!

Than you for the information. I previously saw that tool of the same design offered also by DNA parts and others, who is the original manufacturer?  Noticed in the reviews by Toyota mechanics and DIYers that the center red hex gets easily damaged and can rotate due to the strange circlip attachment to the case when removing the canister if too tight. Would prefer the simple OEM steel design at a decent price.   Any other info is appreciated. Thanks again
