Oil filter socket / help

[alfon]

A while back someone had a post where you could buy on e-bay a 64 mm X 14 flute socket to remove the 2010 Prius oil filter. I believe the price was 7.97 plus shipping.

The 65 MM is a pain in the butt to use.

Does anyone recall that post / link to Ebay.

I checked ebay and could not locate that filter for that price. Plenty of others for twice as much.

But I like your wrench waaaaay better than the one I got. Sure mine was cheaper, BUT yours has that nice square in the center where you can use a 3/8 socket extension. Mine has a round hole, forcing me to use either a 24mm socket or, I'm hoping, an adjustable wrench. I haven't used it yet so I'll see if a 10" Crescent will work or not.

Yes used a standard 3/8" socket wrench ..... nice - fit, with no slop

I heard the filter is a cartridge type. Does it get messy?
