I just ordered this oil filter wrench....Do the ones ordered recently have the 3/8" square drive?

Yes, it works well with opening the oil filter. No worries about damaging your part.
835053
Mine did. Works perfectly. Just get the O rings placed properly and you are good to go!

no the new ones made starting january 2014 DO NOT have the 3/8" square drive for a extension. they only have the 24mm socket head.

I called the factory. They eliminated the 3/8 drive (model now ends with an "a") and went to a cast design for more strength. The problem they addressed is the gorillas out there overtorqueing, which would break out the 3/8" drive part. If people would learn to use a torque wrench, this wouldn't be a problem. As an engineer, I can say they did the right thing. While a little more inconvenient, it more importantly also won't break.

Mines does but it's over a year old. Very good wrench. The side slots pretty much guarantee that the wrench will not slip.

No, it is actually a 2.8L. Not a 4.3. I think the seller got the describtion wrong.

Filter may have a smaller diameter than the wrench, when the wrench is in the inactive position. You might have to use a filler, for example, some sandpaper folded up to take up the space. The grit on the sandpaper will grab the filter. Good Luck.

The correct term for these 12-point bits are "Triple Square Spline" socket bits. Yes the sizes you need are included. 10 bits that fit 1/4" or 3/8" drives, that include 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm plus an 18mm bit. Well made and worth every penny.

3/8" is far more versatile than 1/2". 1/2" is more for really heavy duty work. The 3/8" version of this tool was powerful enough to remove the wheel hub bolts from my car, and those are notoriously difficult to remove.

matco actaully has a version of these that have the offset about 1/4 on one side of the wrench you can check on there site i have used them and seen them carried on the truck, if you have a matco distibutor for your shop he should be carrying them if hes a decent one with decent stock.

Yes, a 1/2" drive fits the tool. I used my 1/2 breaker bar to hold the engine, another breaker bar and socket to remove the pulley bolt. The tool works great.

Home Depot 1/4 shank with 3/8" square drive look where drill bits etc. Are.

Not sure what you mean, they're Triple Square Spline bits, some 1/4" drive, some 3/8" drive. I bought them to remove the caliper bolts from a Volkswagen Jetta, apparently Volkswagen is a fan of this type of bit. I see in the description it has listed "Tamper Proof" for some sizes but I'm not sure what applications those have.

The Lisle 63600 oil filter wrench fits oil filter diameters 2 1/2" to 3 1/8" and the Lisle 63250 oil filter wrench fits oil filter diameters 3 1/8" to 3 7/8". I don't know the filter size on the turbo so you would have to measure it to see which tool you need.

From the description: Tamper-proof - 3/8-inch drive: 14mm, 1/2-inch drive: 16, 18mm. So just the 14, 16, & 18mm have the hole for "security" or "tamper proof" bolts. The rest of the bits do not have the hole.

Yes to the 3/4 axle. Not sure about the 3" width. I used them on an AgraFab 25 Gallon sprayer.

Don't know, I don't own a speed 3, have a 2.3 normaly aspirated, basic engine should be the same which means the oil filter should be the same. Call your local dealer and ask to speak to a technician, he should be able to give you the answer.

Yes, your car has a cartridge type filter just like our Sienna van (same engine). Vast improvements using this over a standard wrench for the DIY or Mechanic. Really needed when dealer doesn't know how to torque items correctly.

Well, for years I used the same wrench on filters. They they started putting smaller filters on cars and I had to buy a new one. All I can tell you is this is a small filter.

Yes, the 3/8 inch drive torque wrench has both Nm andFt-lb marking on opposite sides of the wrench. No conversion is needed.
