Today I'll be heading off to pick up my parts to give the car it's oil change. Two 5 litre bottles of Penrite HPR5, the oil filter removal tool and oil filter from Toyota.

Good luck finding a store that has the oil filter wrench in stock. It is usually a special order item for most stores because the design is not really as common for them. If you are planning on getting it from Toyota, don't get your hopes up because depending on who you deal with, they probably won't sell it. Just follow my previous recommendations:

Where can I buy the tool to open the oil filter access - and where can I find the manuals that are mentioned in posts above this?

(PDF)

I would advise ordering a '65mm/67mm cap style oil filter wrench' though because the Aurion uses a cartridge style oil filter.

You can remove the cap without the special tool, but I'm not going to advise how to do that here because it's just something you shouldn't really do. Plus I don't want to be held accountable if you break something.

A mob named 'T&E Tools' makes such oil filter wrenches. You can order them from most auto stores like Repco and the likes.

Thanks for the reply. Like I said in my PM to you. Both dealers I called were more then happy to give me this part with one even having stock at the moment.

Luckily I have all the correct tools like a wrench extension to remove the filter drain cap etc.

Everything looks pretty straight forward.

Big thanks to you daryl for the PDF. I printed it off and will be using it as a guide when changing the filter :)

Well it's good to see that the dealers are now a bit more open with supplying their required tool. A while back some of them were a bit less helpful in getting you the part you are after.

But ~$45 is a bit expensive. I'm pretty sure when I got a price from Repco to get the T&E part, it was something around the $20 mark. Never bought it though and have still successfully done 5 or so oil filter changes.

Well, with the forum ads now showing the GoPro, I'm really starting to think more and more about getting myself a camera of sorts.

What do you think I should get?

1) VholdR ContourHD, or

2) GoPro HD Hero

Okay, quick update. Went to pick up my oils at repco then went to the dealer and just my crappy luck. As soon as I get there, the guy gives my oil filter and when it comes to the filter removal tool, he says they don't have any in stock at the moment. Ahhh :angry: ,then why say you do on the phone?! Anyway, he ordered it in for me and it should hopefully be in by this arvo.

Also, I asked if he could do a better price on the filter and tool so he dropped the filter from $23 to $18 and the tool from $44 to $40. Not a big difference but oh well, better then nothing.

Who would be stupid enough to leave their GT-R sitting alone somewhere for that long anyway?

But yes, it certainly looks painful!!!

It's time for a service B)

<snip>

LOL. Such a noob. Needed to print instructions to do an oil change :P

LOL :lol:

Well, I really wouldn't need it but seriously, the Aurions filter is completely different from your normal unscrew old one and screw in old one type.

I would probably just need to use it once and next time I'll know how to do it :P

Need to head into the city to give a quote to a customer then I'm free for the whole day which means come back and service the Aurion :D

Can oil seriously make a car run and engine quieter? After using Penrite HPR5 in the Aurion she runs so much better. The way I can definitely tell is that I was at a mates place last night and parked outside. It was 3 degrees last night in Melbourne so it was freezing cold.

Usually when my car would sit outside in that cold, when turning it on it would be loud as and the rev's literally would jump up and down for a few seconds and I would get this awkward thump and the car would jolt forward, very weird.

With penrite, the moment I started the car from a dead cold engine @ 3 degrees outside, it was quiet as anything. No rev jumping and within seconds the rev's dropped.

I started off driving and it was just much quieter on a cold engine than before.

In most cases if you are using an oil of the same weight and specification, then a majority of what you hear is just placebo. If anything, you may have improved the flow of oil by changing to a new filter, but in terms of the oil itself, it's mostly an illusion.

Your mind is really good at doing things like that to you.

Well considering my last service was at the dealer so I would have no clue what they use but I doubt it was a 5-40 semi syn like I used.

I hope it's not placebo because overall the car just sounds and feels like it is running so much better.

I don't think I'll ever be taking my car to a dealer ever again because I couldn't even get the cap off. Chances are since it doesn't come off, no one has bothered to remove it and left it as is. A-holes. For it to get that tight would be that they didn't use the filter wrench to re-tighten the housing but a **** socket wrench and tightened from the cap.

Not being able to get the cap off made for a very messy oil filter change.

I GOT NEW RIMS FOR THE CAR :yahoo:

photo3.jpg

lol, okay not really. We've had these rims in our shed for like two years, and we finally cleaned out the shed and found these. Just put it next to the Aurion to see how the car would look with something better than stock rims :lol:

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.

      GR Corolla GTS Issues

      Update: Somerton Park Jarvis Toyota had the car for a full 9 hours and said they didn't test most of the faults then refused to give me the paper work. Andy the service guy and his manager Tim were dismissive and said they wouldnt investigate the problems. They said the adaptive cruise control braking is a known issue. They confirmed Android Auto wireless will not work with this model which is not what the sales guy told me i was very specific in my wording as i wanted to make sure wireless android auto was supported and was told yes it is supported. They said they cant test unless the car is hot and want me to drive for 90 minutes to 2 hours before bringing it in. Ive dealt with CMI Toyota over the last 5+ years and have had great dealings but this dealership seems like the other end of the spectrum. Upon getting home i noticed the right rear mag has been curbed. This dealership seems really untrustworthy.

      GR Corolla GTS Issues

      Anyone else with a GR Corolla having issues like these? Just had mine for 2 weeks from Somerton Park - Jarvis Toyota and having heaps of issues with the car unfortunately. Its booked in to be checked out tomorrow, but they were meant to test the car prior to delivery of the vehicle. The AWD issues seem to be common to the corolla when i do a quick google search? Issues with Nov 2022 GR Corolla GTS IMT is not functioning after 30 minutes. Light is on but wont match revs on down shift. This is reproducible - happens every single time imt is turned on. Some noise and thud/clunking can feel it occasionally when turning right. Changing gears the drivetrain makes a thud can feel a clunking sound. AWD system issues? Clutch to the floor and gears are crunching going into 2nd and 3rd was after driving for roughly 90 minutes first long drive on Thursday. Has happened again since then. Pressing accelerator revs go up but no acceleration then feels spongy and not responsive? Even when pressing accelerator pedal harder there is no acceleration. Seems to occur when car is hot. Was told by sales that Android Auto wireless will work. It will not work with my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra - it fails to pair and start then endlessly fails in a loop trying to pair. The software is the latest version on my android phone and have updated car via wifi with the Toyota October 24 updates. Could that have caused other issues when the Toyota update was applied? Music stops playing when going over bumps or speed bumps - this is both annoying and dangerous to press start again when driving and not stationary, happens multiples times each day on commute to/from work… Adaptive cruise control brakes hard sometimes or basically comes to a crawl when there is a car next to you or a parked car or object even though you are 1m+ away from them with current trajectory of the vehicle so no possible collision with the cars/objects. I don't like going from 60 to 30 for no real reason, this happens too often - seems way over tuned for avoidance. I never experienced anything like this with Adaptive cruise control in my 2018 XT Forester. Wind down the passenger window after the car has been wet/rinsed - about 150-200ml water drained down onto the door trim!! i can't even see where that much water could be stored/pooling. So far it seems like this car is a Lemon lol

      New Vehicle Key Remotes

      I've had 2 services and still no 2nd key. Service has no idea and says talk to sales. You'd think they were separate entities. Its nows 14 mths and still nothing. On delivery they gave 12mths roadside assist. That's ok except i had 9ths left on my old car that got trasfered and couldn't be pro rated. They didn't extend roadside asist when there was still no sign of key. If I could get onto Toyota I would but like delivery times they push you onto the dealers.... hopeless!!!
