One question I constantly get from oil change shops is: “What do you have to take off the Toyota canister style oil filters.” The Lisle import oil filter wrench and the Assenmacher Specialty Tools (AST 640) slip or can break the canister.
If the canister breaks, it can cost $60 to replace and requires a purchase from the dealership usually. This special replacement can be both expensive and time consuming for a simple oil change. But there is a solution.
Private Brands Tools from Australia makes the 71110 and 71113 oil filter wrenches. Although the 71110 is more popular, eventually the shop will need both.
The PBT71110 is designed for the Toyota Lexus 4-cylinder motors while the PBT71113 is designed for the larger 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder models.
Both oil filter wrenches are available from Best Value Company.
