The draining part with the plastic plug was np, got that done.
I actually ordered that Tool Guy tool and it is sitting at my house.

I put new oil in without changing the filter and pretty soon will tackle removing the filter.

I ordered a metal housing to replace that plastic one....looks like it should be the same, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008BHP68A?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details
Thanks!

Fairly sure it's this one but double check.

Edit - read your comment. Might need to get a breaker bar. I can't believe someone put this on so tight. Pretty sure it's supposed to be only a little more than hand tightened....

This is the item I purchased. Im sure it fits multiple models and engine sizes..

I have a 2018 taco and I haven’t had it long enough to change the oil and install this.

Looks like that’s the metal version for some Toyotas, don’t see the Corolla specified. Weird. I’ll have to crawl under our cars and see which ones we have. I thought they were metal but now I’m not sure. I know our Avalon was for sure. I haven’t had any problems with the housing to date, usually change our oil every 6-12 months. Comments on that Amazon listing mention others having the same issue you’re having.

Ok thanks! I saw that some people had that issue and figured that’s way a new one got installed. I saw that lots of people were buying this to fix the issue. It has been working fine but I don’t know if it’s filtering the oil worse without that tube. I don’t really need my car right now anyway so I may just buy the amazon one and wait.

According to Amazon, it's almost $24. That $60 almost paid for itself already.

this is the metal replacement oil filter housing

This is the wrench you want for these

On top of this, if you ever plan on doing your own oil changes I strongly encourage you buy a metal oil filter cap and the correct wrench. The plastic one that comes stock breaks really easily, especially without the right tools.

You have to swap the tube out from plastic into the metal. Super simple.

This? Amazon
