oil filter removal tool. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Geoff Peace · 03-08-2013, 01:44 PM

I am interested in obtaining an oil filter removal tool for my wifes Yaris. 2011 model, the 'new' Yaris. 1.33 petrol engine. (1NR-FE). I understand these are only obtainable from the USA. Could anyone tell me the manufacturer and the part number please? An indication of price would also be useful! If anyone knows of a supplier in the UK then that would be most helpful. Thankyou.
Regards Geoff Peace.

You have a few options:

You can either go with a 64mm x 14 flats socket type tool:

Assenmacher Specialty Tools TOY 640 (I believe readily available in Europe)

CTA A265 (sold by some Toyota parts stores here in the US)

or a type which catches the fingers on the oil filter housing:

^ I am using a FRAM version that looks smth like in the middle above .. retails for like 6 bucks everywhere.. I noticed that filter oustide diameter really varies among producers (smth like =/- couple mm) which does not help (( but still does the job if you are very persistent

The 1NR-FE does not have a can type filer. It has a housing with an insert that goes inside of it, so the filter tool is not one of the typical off-the-shelf ones and the size does not vary. It is 64mm x 14 flats. This is what it looks like:

Less waste, you only replace the element.

I have a Pure Power filter for the Yaris, which is reusable - although I only use it every other oil change, because I hate taking the time to clean while I am changing the oil.

Pure Power manufactures the K&N reusable filter as well: http://www.knfilters.com/oilfilter.htm

Thankyou very much for your detailed reply C.T. You say the filter is 64mm. I am given to understand that a 64mm removal tool will not fit and a 65mm. is too large. I have been told that Toyota have made it around 64.5mm. which causes the problem. Have I been told correctly? or will a 64mm. 14 flute tool fit?

My understanding was that when Toyota first started using that filter setup that people could not find standard sockets to fit it (the in between 64 and 65 issue). Since then there are Toyota specific ones, like the ones above, which are likely a fraction between 64 and 65mm.

Thankyou very much for your help C.T. I have a friend who will be visiting the USA in amonth or so and he has offered to bring me one back.

Very good. If you want it sooner, let me know, and I can ship one to you.

Shroomster · 03-10-2013, 04:08 PM

Get the Assenmacher toy-640. <<<I highly recommend it. It should be right around $20 USD. It works for both the plastic and aluminum toyota cartridge housings. you need a 24mm socket/wrench on the end of it, but it does the job. It's aluminum, but quality made.

2 things, once the cartridge housing has mated fully with the engine side, stop tightening. it doesn't need to be super tight, just flushed and maybe tapped once. check with CTScott for the appropriate torque specification if you wish.

Second thing, remember to remove the tool once you finish using it, it blends into the engine being dull grey aluminum and all lol. Many a lube tech at my job has had to purchase more than one of these tools.

Filter removal tool TOY 640 has now arrived. All the way from the USA! Does anyone know the correct tightening torque please? The filter retainer seems to be plastic, so I do not want to over tighten, then again I do not want to undertighten and cause an oil leak.

Thankyou for the information C.T. That is a much higher torque than I would have thought for a filter.

Thankyou for your help Shroomster. The TOY 640 is indeed the one I have bought. But, only $6 around £4 so very pleased. I have checked with C.T. Scott and the torque is 40 Nm which seems a lot to me however, I will go with that.

The Scion Xd has that plastic oil filter cover too. Not a big fan of it....

One of the best Oil Filter removal tools is from Channellock.
You can remove any oil filter.
