- Shows how to QUICKLY and EASILY convert ANY Toyota, Lexus, or Scion Model Vehicle from a messy and difficult cartridge-based filter to a super convenient spin on (disposable) cannister oil filter! To find out which adapter fits your Toyota or Lexus, go to www.baxterperformanceusa.com
The filter used in this video is a Wix 51335 AKA Napa Gold 1335 (essentially the exact same filter). I am almost certain that Wix makes the Napa filter and just slaps Napa's name on them. That being said, I am 99% sure that you have several different filter options that you can use with this adapter (depending on your vehicle, it's specific filter requirements, and the physical space that you have available to comfortably fit the filter on your vehicle).

The reason our beloved Toyota/Lexus changed to these stupid cannisters is the same reason they deleted the ATF dipstick, it is obvious and the very first thing when I found that newer cars had taken the giant step BACKWARDS for these things. Toyota wants to discourage DIY mechanics from doing anything that would make their car last longer, and making oil change a PITA is a subtle move against people who maintain their own cars. But it is the true reason, since there is absolutely no good reason for them to design them the way they are doing it now.
For $250.00 I can live with the little mess stock oil cartridge. Wear gloves, get a big oil drain pan.
Never been a mess for me. That plastic tube that comes with the filter is to drain the cannister before you remove it. Alot of cars with cannister filters didn't have this feature. I don't find this design difficult at all.
$200 no way dude
Smaller filter size seems a little sketchy
They are very clean if drained before removing it from the vehicles from the bottom of it. I love the design because you can inspect filter media before and after oil change. Who knows what quality is in the oil filters contained in metal. Also clearance can be an issue using this adapter as well on the Sienna vehicles. Nice video.
In my opinion, you didn't use enough curse words to accurately describe that cartridge filter design. Toyota even made it worse on the latest engines - on the Tacoma they put the oil filter on the bottom of the engine where you have to completely remove the skid plate. They could have easily put a door/plate on the skid plate below the filter, but noooo....
I’m 71 and just changed the oil on my Tundra myself for the first time. I always had the dealer do it. Their price rose to $98+ so I bought a 12 qt Mobil 1 oil in a box, a toyota filter and a crush washer and even after buying a MotiveX ($30) wrench to remove the filter housing I still saved a lot of money. And it will be much cheaper from here on out since I won’t be buying anything but the oil, filter and washer. Probably $50 total. As far as the mess…who cares? It’s not like I change the oil every week. I change it a 3k intervals. In my case that’s once a year as I use my truck mainly for towing our camper. At $200+ for this contraption I can stand a little oil running down my rubber gloved hand. 😊
If you ever have any issues with your engine while under warranty you will be subjected to not being covered due to modifications of the manufacturer original equipment. Who changes their oil and complaints about the mess it makes? Come on now. That’s like telling your wife: Honey I’m not washing the car anymore because it’s a big pain and I get wet from the water and it’s too hot.😅😅😅
It wasn’t that long ago , maybe 15 years the oil filter on a Camry was on the top of the motor , no spills, spin on filter , worked great , then they moved it underneath, ridiculous
That tiny new spin-on wix filter is now the lowest object protruding from the bottom of the front of the the car. It will surely be the first point of impact if you happen to bottom out, no thanks.
I had Mercedes and Alfas with canister type filters. Never an issue. The real advantage was that one was not buying a filter with possible bad threads or defective internals. You could see the actual filter and confirm it was in good condition before install. The canister itself was well made and leak free. Prefer it to the spin on filters.
I PUT ONE ON MY GRANDAUGHTER'S TOYOTA SUV AND I LOVE IT. IT TAKES A SORT OF FLAT OIL FILTER FROM NAPA. SO FAR 4 CHANGES AND ABOUT ONE YEAR IT IS WORKING GRESAT! LOVE IT! EASY CLEAN CHANGES. WORTH THE MONEY
While I agree a spin on filter is much nicer, the filter you are using with the kit has what appears to be approximately 50% less filter media. While the 2.5 Toyota runs rather clean I’ll always prefer more filter capacity over convenience. Also with the adapter and the small filter the filter now hangs below the oil pan witch in your case has seen some abrasion already. So if that were to happen again you have now opened your oil system and if not caught in time will lead to total engine failure.
DUDE I LOVE YOU!!! I've been fighting with that DAMN cartridge filter for 5 FREAKIN years! I just changed the oil on the wife's 2016 Rav 4 for the last time,I'm getting one of these! Prior to the 2016 we had a 2012 but the wife was hit by a car full of teens. Anyway for some reason I did a search on YT to see if anyone made a conversion kit and I'll be danged there you are and this was TWO FREAKIN years ago I have no idea why I didn't think of this sooner. Anyway thank you for posting this you're a lifesaver!!
I’ve really come to love the Toyota design for a couple reasons. First, by allowing drainback you get a more complete oil change. Second, the vertical orientation of the filter means you don’t need drainback prevention. Third, the elements have no metal on them and thus the manufacturing process cannot cause small metal burrs to remain on the metal parts. (Spin on filters are notorious for generating debris when spun on). Fourth, the filters come with a drain provision in the cover- insert the plastic nipple, press open the drain check ball under the cover, and drain all the filter with no mess. Fifth, the lack of metal in the elements simplifies manufacturing and allows an equivalent quality filter media to be make a cheaper overall filter.
Jo Tu, your opening soliloquy SO poignantly captured the visceral angst and frustration I experienced when I tried to remove the filter housing on my 2012 Gen 3 Prius, after a Toyota dealer torqued it so tight that I broke a removal tool and was forced to abandon a filter change.
I went ahead and bought the Baxter Mod for my wife's 2022 Lexus and my son helped to install-Thank you for the note at about
I totally agree with you about Toyota's terrible design. However, I have a few concerns for using the adapter:
Nice thorough explanation. I just did my 1st oil change on my 21 tacoma 4x4 sport.I drive very little being takes me almost a yr for a change.The oem version does
