I'll give some of you a laugh at a semi-wrenchlet (or infuriate you). I've done my own fluids for a few years now, never had an issue until today. I've always owned cars that have basic disposable filter housings though, so Toyota/Lexus having metal housings and filter carts is new to me.
So being a dumbass on my new IS250, I bought this cheapest chinkesium filter tool I could. First red flag should have been the 3/8 drive, but I didn't care and had a breaker so I figured it'd be fine.
Spoiler: It wasn't.
Dump the oil, drain plug was tight as fuck as if someone zipped it on with an impact. Infuriating, but whatever. Thankfully wasn't stripped or taking threads with it on the way out, so that was fine. Then I got to the filter. After about 30 minutes of performing feats of strength Hercules could only dream of with the help of copious amounts of PB, I eventually rounded the fucking socket. Cute, real fucking cute. Adapter is locked into place, can't pry it off. Even better!
30 more minutes of prying in the opposite direction just trying to get the adapter to pop off, and eventually it finally does with this as the result. That's what I get for buying chinkshit and using a tiny drive for a really stupid application.
Fuck niggers who use impacts for basic oil changes though I hope you get debris in your interference engine.
