I was thinking of changing my TL's oil myself and I went to buy the oil filter wrench and there are so many different types and I was not sure which one to buy for the 2.5TL.
Can any one assists?

Get a sample 2.5TL oil filter and take it with you when you go to the store. Or just look one up at the store. Size it in the oil wrench. It should go on fairly easily when the ring is normal. If you bend the handle, the ring will constrict on the filter. If the ring doesn't grab when you bend the handle, get a smaller oil wrench.

If you are always changing your own oil, you might be able to get away without using a filter wrench, I do, it is just a bit of an awkward angle.

Then again, I'm sure at 39, you aren't a poor college student either

You want a socket type filter tool w/ a 3/8" drive for an extension. This allows you to loosen the filter, then use hand to finish removing. I found a plastic tool at Walmart for about $3-4.

good luck
