Let's face it - changing the cartridge-type Toyota oil filters is messy compared to their old spin-on oil filters. With this tool, draining oil is so much easier & cleaner. It's very easy to use too! I highly recommend it!
This little device works perfectly to drain the filter housing on our new Lexus, way better than the little plastic piece of dog feces included with the filter. Place the tube in your catch pan and let it drain. This is a must-have if you're doing your own oil changes!
This tool is perfect for Toyota and Toyota-like oil changes. Never mess with those useless plastic drain adapters again. It screws right into the opening, just like the cap. Once secured, you open the valve and drain the oil from the filter housing. Remove and proceed with filter change. Not one drop of oil escapes.
Just make your life easier and cleaner. If you doing your own oil changes it a must accessory.
I did not have any problems while using this. I didn't get a drip of oil on me and I used it without the tube. I screwed it into the bottom of the oil filter and then turned the nipple just until the oil started coming out. This makes the job so much cleaner.
