I have a 2006 GS300 RWD, and it's time for an oil change. I've always changed my own oil, but this car's filter looks very different. I understand it's a canister type of filter, but the replacement filter came with a plastic connector like thing to apparently drain the oil filter before removing it (?)
Does anyone have instructions on doing this? Is there a special tool involved? There is a cap on the filter that looks like it could unscrew, but looks like a special tool is needed to do it...
Any help appreciated!
Very nice DIY! Personally I never use the plastic small piece to drain oil from the filter - to me its just an extra step, I just remove the canister and drain all oil all together
