1st DIY Oil Change

I'm happy with my wrench but a better drain tool would be nice.

 

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.

 

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