Which oil filter pliers should I use?

Barbaric plyers. You will need to purchase the stated filter wrench to remove the oil filter canister.

 

I'm using the standard Honda automotive oil filter socket. Mine's got an out-of-date part number, but believe it's this:

For folks with Ad Blocker:



It's about 64.5 mm inside face-to-face of flutes, 14 flutes. It does not extend down onto the stiffener, which is maybe a solution in search of a problem? I've just check with a Mazda oil filter, for our son's new vehicle, appears to work there as well. Seems to be an industry standard, well for at least 3 manufacturers.

I do have a pair of pliers somewhat like the OP's first pick: they work great in the kitchen, when I'm struggling with a jar lid...

 

On Amazon it is showing a different oil filter wrench for 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder Toyota engines, I bought the 4 cyl filter wrench planning to DIY oil changes from now on for my Prius. I also have a Sienna with v6 engine with canister type oil filter. I have compared the images of the wrenches shown on Amazon/eBay and there is like total 6 grooves vs 4 (3 on one side and 1 on the opposite end). I haven't gotten a chance to get under the Sienna van to test fit. Wondering if my 4 cyl. filter wrench will work on my Sienna. Thanks in advance.

 

That's the thing: with sockets that don't extend down into the intermittent stiffener zone, one size fits all.

 

I used the same tool on the RX450h when I did the oil change at 5k as the Prius .

So they can be interchangeable .
