How do you remove a Toyota cartridge filter?

To remove a cartridge oil filter from a Toyota vehicle, you will need a three-leg oil filter adapter wrench. Here are the steps to remove the cartridge oil filter:

3. Attach the adapter wrench: Attach the three-leg oil filter adapter wrench to the housing cover by aligning the legs with the corresponding slots on the cover. Make sure it is securely attached.
4. Turn counterclockwise to remove: With the adapter wrench securely attached, turn it counterclockwise to loosen and remove the housing cover. Be careful not to apply excessive force to avoid damaging the housing or the wrench.
5. Remove the cartridge oil filter: Once the housing cover is removed, you can now access the cartridge oil filter. Carefully remove the filter from the housing and dispose of it properly.
Please note that it is recommended to refer to the specific instructions provided in your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the correct procedure to remove the cartridge oil filter.
