I ordered the tool wrench from www.toolsource.com and received it today. The part # is TOY640 and it is manufactured by AST (Assenmacher Specialty Tools, Inc.) It looks like a heavy duty tool and worth the $16.00 buck + shipping of course. You can probably get this from any local automotive parts store but a little less quality. Thanks for all your feedback and help.

I went under the car and noticed the oil filter aluminum housing. It looks different from this tool. It is not a canister filter. The filter media comes separate from the actual housing. The only thing you replace is the paper filter media but you need a tool to remove the filter housing. Maybe I will give these guys a call to find out. I found this article and photos on another forum site: http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/lexu...350-oil-change/

Is this what you're looking for? >> Lexus Oil Filter Wrench I am not sure if that is the tool I need. Is that what you use for yours?

Hello: I would like to change the oil in my 2007 ES 350. The problem is that I keep reading about a "Special Service Tool" for the oil filter. I went to my local Lexus Dealer inquiring about this tool and the guy told me that they don't sell it. Does anyone have the same problem? I don't know were to find this tool. I searched on google and came across a TOY640 tool for the Toyota Avalon which should work but I am not sure. Please help. I really don't think it is necessary to pay $140 or more for an oil change and tire rotation at the dealer. Thanks in advance.
