Yaris Oil Change DIY

[Jboss]

What kind of tools do you guys use to remove the oil filter if its tough to get off because of the awkward spot of being under the car? I've seen the one where you can tighten it on the filter, and there's a oil filter cap that you use with a wrench?

Any of these will do.

I've never had much luck with oil filter wrenches. If It's that tight I usually just shove a long flat head screwdriver through the filter and use it for leverage.

That is a messy way. Filter is full of oil.

I have a pan under it, usually not that bad honestly.

Doesn't happen much, I can undo it by hand 95% of the time.

Even with the tool, oil will leak all over the place as there is oil up in the engine as well, and can't be drained.
