OR SO DOES THAT TOYOTA MECHANIC I TALKED TO SAID.

I CHANGED MY FRIENDS OIL IN HIS BRAND NEW 07 COROLLA, AND BOY WAS IT A PAIN IN THE A.S.S. IT TOOK ME about 10 minutes to get the filter out, I needed to hammer that tool in just to get it out. good thing is he got mobil1 ready and a K&N filter with the nut so the next time i change it wont be such a pain...

i would get a K&N oil filter, but they're stupid expensive.

Does the "oil change light" go off automatically when you change the oil or do you have to reset it?

mine went off like normal. if it stays on, then all your oil must have sprayed out some how. happened to me when i didn't tighten my filter enough on my GTI.

The flashing MAINT light does not go off after you change the oil... think about it.

There is a quick and easy reset procedure in your owners manual. Try searching here, its been posted a bunch of times.

Beware of dribbling oil filters. Both times I did mine so far, the filter dribbled oil real bad when I loosened it.

Those Rhino Ramps look better than the ones I have because of the non-slip feet. Mine work fine for driving onto forward, but slip out from the rear 4 out of 5 times. They're impossible if the surface is wet.

Amazon.com has them for $33 - $40 with the chock blocks.

Remove the oil cap next time... it acts as a vent when removing the filter. Less mess.
