miker1 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 What size oil filter wrench is needed to remove the end cap of the oil filter (how many millimeters and number of flutes)? Where can I get an oil filter wrench that fits the RX350? Is the oil filter location under the plastic access panel on the passenger front of vehicle?

spunderdog Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 65 mm. NAPA has one for about $6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFarra31 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Alternatively, www.toolscource.com has the special service tool "TOY640" that the dealerships use. I paid 16 bucks with shipping. It does require either a 15/16" or 24mm socket George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmteknik Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Is it 65mm or 64mm? From what I gather online the TOY640 wrench referred to is 64mm. I bought some POS 65mm wrench at Pepboys which allowed sufficient torque to open it but I can't really tighten it very well as is slips. I think the outer flutes are actually 67mm. With limited open stores today (Easter Sunday) I found something that looked similar (dual level) to what I had but out of plastic and decided I could cut the 67mm level away. The result seems to be a snug fit with the 65mm part but being plastic the 3/8" drive part is too weak. Oh well. I don't see any seepage and it probably doesn't need to be torqued to exactly x Nm but I do want it good n tight and I don't think I am yet. So it's either NAPA if they have it or ordering one online. But which is it, 65mm or 64mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ylf Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I don't remember the exact number but the torque called for is very low. Only slightly more than hand tight. The o-ring does the sealing, not the torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
