Hi all..just got the new oil filter cartridge , all set to go, when reading the fitting instructions, it says I must use s "special service tool".

Has anyone DIY changed their filter yet, and is it possible to do this without having to buy this tool...??? and if so what did you use to remove/replace the filter canister...?

Thanks fellas...

..well just bought one on the 'bay from a seller in NZ, 65mm is the size, and it was $23.40 incl postage.

I CANNOT BELIEVE..!! that Toyota have done this, the actual canister is made from PLASTIC ! not metal, if the perfectly fitting tool is not used, the edges of the 14 sides can easily burr over possibly making removal or replacement eventually impossible.

Also the parts dept at my local dealership, said replacement takes their workshop twice as long and that actual cleaning of the inside of the canister is very important ( I wonder how many wont bother to do this, or even wont bother to change the filter at all.?? )he also said it was a cost cutting exercise, although Toyota are spinning it as "more environmentally friendly".

..cant believe I've just completed a whole thread just talking to myself..! :lol: all good but..

I'm confused, what is an oil filter cartridge? and plastic? I've had a quick look at my oil filter before but it looks like a normal metal screw on type, have I missed something?

I have one service left till warranty ends then I'll do it myself so I better investigate I think..

I have a genuine filter removal tool for my 4AGE filters which I thought may fit the ZRE and it was a perfect fit for the Valvoline replacement too (Z386)

I'll check if it fits the ZRE

..mid 2010 ZRE's, Toyota went from the no-brainer spin-off/spin on steel filter (yours) to a plastic housing (mine) containing a paper oil filter (04152-37010), you were lucky enough to have the pre plastic one..

It's the same tool thats used on the Aurions and new Klugers...

Make sure not to overtighten the filter housing as it will become impossible to remove the next time you try... Depending on your special tool, I use a 1/2" bar to remove the housing and a 3/8" ratchet to tighten...

Hey, I believe (saying believe because I'm not too sure what you mean by plastic and all) it's 2009 onwards ZREs. I know mine has paper oil filter and is different to 07 and 08 ZREs.. :huh:

In terms of the design, I actually must say that I quite like it. I prefer it over the typical canister type that we are all familiar with. When used correctly, it results in less mess because you can drain the oil filter prior to removing it. As well, the o-ring seal is superior (in my opinion) to the traditional oil filter seal.

But plastic? That sounds quite dodgy. If that's the case, I wouldn't be satisfied with the design. The metal one used on the Aurion has a couple of tabs on the top which when put together with a little creativity, can be removed without the cap style oil filter wrench. I've managed to remove the one on my last Aurion several times, and my new one a few times without the proper tool and have not put a single scratch in it.

I'd be curious to see a photo of this plastic version your car has.

      Aurion tyres

      I recently fitted Nexen Nfera Su1's and am very happy with ride & grip quality. These are supposed to be a mid range tyre. I couldn't find any in your size on tyroola, but they did have a set of 225/50/17 for $600 fitted (if your living in Melbourne) https://www.tyroola.com.au/nexen-n-fera-su1-xl-22550zr17-98w-ty66a1e88c5a.html Cant go wrong with the extra width 👍

      Aurion tyres

      I've used Kuhmo on my MGB for years and find them a good reliable, mid priced street tyre. Probably any tyre on your list will do, also Bridgestone. What tyres are on there now? Hherb

      Corolla Ascent Sport.: Model ZRE182R.C

      Hi Alan, My first reply, as I just joined up 🙂 I have a 2016 Corolla Ascent Sport Hatch with alloy wheels so I'm guessing yours would be the same. AFAIK don't think Toyota has the colour code for the alloys, think they're just a generic silver. Before my son got his licence a few months ago, he had scuffed the front and rear left alloys of my Corolla a bit while I was teaching him to drive. I found a silver touchup pen on Amazon for Alloy wheels, was pretty cheap for just under $10 and the colour is pretty much the same silver. Worked a treat. Maybe buy one and see if it matches the colour of your alloys. If it does you could get an auto paint store to match that colour. Just do a search for "alloy wheel touchup paint" on Amazon. See the screenshot I've provided. All the best mate.

      Thanks Robert! Too true, dad was devastated when the Aussie car manufacturing industry shut down. Sad as it is, I've been very happy with my Toyotas like yourself, they are just awesome work horses. Cheers mate, see you around 😀

      2016 Hilux SR5 Coolant Issues

      The first picture is what the initial mechanic in Port Augusta analyzed what was wrong with it. The next 3 photos shows what it did look like. The last photo is how it looks now repaired. I hope that helps you understand what has happened. From what I can tell from other forums is that there used to be an issue with the coolant leaking which probably led to this one being bypassed. Hence the issue as outlined in the first image. I was told by my mechanic yesterday that bypassing the coolant through the engine is illegal and should never have been passed for a roadworthy when I bought it back in April. It is an emissions issue and you don't touch that area. He said that if was presented with this ute in that condition, he would not have passed it for roadworthy. I have been in contact with the dealership that I bought it from and he is going to look into the mechanic who did the roadworthy and find out what is going on. I have said that I want to be re-imbursed for the repairs and being sold a faulty car, as well as that I nor he would want me to go to VCAT or Consumer Affairs about it. Are you aware of this issue?

      Son's First Car--98 Corolla Seca--Overfilled Oil--Cactus??

      Thanks so much for your advice. We checked the transmission dipstick (finally!) and it was empty! Yes old dad did a boneheaded move. My son then changed the oil and filled the transmission fluid on his cherry 98 Toyota Seca and the car sings! Thankfully our 100m test drive on no transmission fluid does not seem to have done any major harm. Cheers

      Son's First Car--98 Corolla Seca--Overfilled Oil--Cactus??

      Just to confirm, are we talking about engine oil or gearbox/transmission oil? The auto in these also has a dipstick in the engine bay, just want to make sure you're checking the right thing (especially since you're talking about it not shifting properly, which shouldn't be an issue with engine oil level if the car runs fine otherwise)
