    I'm looking for a moderate priced 2021 3rd Gen oil filter wrench - 6 cyl. Don't want to end up with junk or the wrong one as it seems a bit confusing. So much room for the old spin on type - but why make it easy ?? Thanks for helpful info. Scott

    I don’t think they make that one anymore. I ordered one from their site and it doesn’t have the flute cutouts. Just like a big socket.

    When I saw it on Amazon earlier today - I got this message at the top of the listing

    This does not fit your:
    2021 Toyota Tacoma
    Your Garage (6)
    See similar products that fit this vehicle:
    Tools & Equipment > Oil System Tools > Oil Filter Wrenches
    See all products that fit this vehicle

    This is why I was confused ???

    I just went with the A Abigail brand -- It was just enough to get the free shipping. As usual - big thank-you for the proper help here ! Regards Scott

    I found out that a 1/2" drive breaker bar that is at least 14" long works much better than 3/8" ratchet that is the same length.
    Slowly, using torque and leverage, unthread the filter base.

    Amazons part/tool fitment is spotty at best. If something seems wrong, it probably is. Says it won't fit your 2021, but I bet you it says it works on a 2018 that has an identical filter housing.

    I noticed that as well.

    My cap wrench works on my 2016 Corolla, my 2017 Taco, and daughters 2017 Rav4.

    I found one at Wal-Mart (can't remember the brand) for around $10 bucks if I recall. Package said it was specific for Toyota canister filter assemblies and it works like a champ on both the Taco and my wife's Camry.

    If anyone is still looking for a budget priced oil filter housing wrench, I was at Lowes a little while ago and saw this Craftsman Toyota specific oil filter wrench marked down to $4.00 bucks (regularly $15). I don't feel like getting under the truck to do a fit test, but it lines up exactly size wise with the cheapo aluminum one I currently use.

    Should work just fine. Just thought I'd pass this along for what it's worth.

    I bought my filter wrench from my dealer's parts department 8 years ago. Still works great on my Wife's 2014 Corolla and my V6 Tacoma. You might want to price shop as everything is more expensive than 8 years ago.
