    Same here. Motivx tools sells it separately. I'm happy with their other stuff.

    I have been using the Motivx 2320 filter wrench and filter drain tool for 3 years ony daughters 2016 Camry. They have both worked really well. Only issue is that it fits in exactly one position.

    I did order the new version 2320-US tool today for my first oil change on the T4R. I like that it fits the ridges on the filter housing and will be easier to use than the old version (although old version is not difficult). Worth the $25.

    I can't believe guys actually use the plastic drain tool.

    I just drain the pan and unscrew the filter. Less mess than trying to shove that plastic POS in there.

    Just completed an oil change. I always have a hard time getting that plastic push button loose on the skid plate. I finally said the heck with it I applied a short piece of thin black foam tape on the skid plate directly under where the hole is to eliminate rattle if any.

    KO2, RCI Skid and filler plate, Caliraised ditch lights, seat jacker clones, aluminum oil filter housing and fumoto drain.

    That was the path I took, RCI Skid and bumper filler plate. Makes draining the oil and accessing the filter easier.
