TOYOTA MOTOR SALES U.S.A., INC.
Beginning in 1996, Toyota will be standardizing the size of many of its oil filters to the three inch
industry standard. This new filter size is slightly larger than the existing 75mm diameter filter
presently used on many Toyota models. This larger filter will require a three inch oil filter wrench
for easy removal.
Three inch oil filter wrenches are readily available from parts stores and tool dealers, however, for
your convenience, OTC will make this new filter wrench available under P/N 00002±17001. Dealer
cost is $5.75. To order, please call OTC at 1±800±933±8335.
