random question-how many quarts of oil does it take to fill the 1.8L? for the life of me, i can't remember how many i used, and it came up in conversation today.i seem to remember using 4.5q, but i may be confusing that amount with my old truck...
I used the strap wrench for a while but it got cut so I'm now using a hammer and a short punch. Take the metal clasp out first, it makes it easier to tap the housing. After the first revolution in tapping it you should be able to turn it by hand. I don't recall if there's a specific wrench for it.

Bianconi - See all my reviews(REAL NAME) Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: K-D Tools 3253 End Cap Oil Filter Wrench (Tools & Home Improvement)Reading some of the other reviews, there may be some confusion as to whether this will work on the oil cartridge for the 2009/2010 1.8L Toyota Corolla. I just received this from Amazon and was finally able to change my oil. This works very well. It fits snugly and does not slip. And it sure costs a lot less than the one that Toyota wants to sell you.".....HLooks like both will take off Purolator pure one pl14612, st6607, st7317, Mobil m1-108, Fram 7317, etc. (size that is on my motorcycle).
