Thanks for the info auxmike, I just ordered one from flatratetools.com for $14.00 and free shipping. I hope it works, changing the yaris filter has really been a pain in the as*.

I use the black socket for changes . Take some sticky back felt and put on the inside edges of oil filter socket to help slide on and off the oil filter . That way shouldn't need to use claws of hammer to get stuck socket off of oil filter which can damage it . Once is on , I'll tighten by hand and then turn oil filter with socket about 3/4 of a turn . Last , I pour 4 ounces of oil into new filter before reinstalling . The TOYO ( Denso ) oil filters already have a lubricant ( looks like vaseline ) on gasket . A good thing , no oily fingers .

Napa sells a good one as well. It fits the filters perfectly.

here's a car ramp D.I.Y. ( for gear , motor oil change , etc. ) , go to http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...t=IMG_1243.jpg . Could use 1 level for ramp instead of 2 ( plenty of clearance with 1 board ) . Then put 1 piece of wood across each end of board ( stoppers ) to prevent driving of ramp . Should take less than 1/2 an hour to cut and nail . This is from SCIONLIFE for an 1st generation XB , a cousin of the YARIS .
