Toyota recommends using oil filter wrench P/N 09228-06500-02 or 09228-06501.

Confirm that the SST is fully seated on the oil filter cap when removing/installing. When installing, torque the cap to 18 +/- 3.7 ft.-lbf. The oil filter cap may be difficult to remove if the specified torque is exceeded.
