My vibe just turned 1 and I used my last Toyota 04152-YZZA6 about a week ago when I changed the oil THE DAY BEFORE I GOT MY 4 FREE OIL CHANGES!!!Oh well, I don't always have time to wait 3 hours for a "FREE" oil change. Are you guys buying the cartridge filter at the Pontiac dealer, Toyota dealer, or at the auto parts stores? Where has the best price?I'm using an Ampro 65 mm / 14 flute filter cap wrench (which is probably 1 mm too big) but works fine. Got it at Advance Auto FYI.
I buy mine from the (former pontiac) GM dealer where I bought the car. 25% cheaper then walmarx and about the same price as buying it from the Toyota dealer (a few pennies).I use a strap wrench. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=38351
There are a couple good test online and the pure one from puralator and mobile 1 rated the best when broken down and compared to other manufactures of filters. This includes ac delco....
