Serviced my friends 2015 Corolla with the stupid composite oil filter cap. I am using the correct removal tool...
I had an extended 1/2 ratchet and even banged on it with a small sledge. Will not budge; I was afraid of breaking it so I left it.
I was also servicing the CVT; the car was not that high off the ground, but I had a lot of torque.
@The Critic advised me to get it up high and use an extension pipe.
I ordered an Amazon Dorman replacement; I will try again with a long Matco breaker bar. And who knows what else.
I've heard of using an impact, but not sure I'm that brave...
Gotta love those quickie lubes. At least that's my guess. Funny thing; the filter cap was installed crazy tight but the oil drain plug broke torque with my fingers when I was squaring up 14MM Snappy box. Wasn't leaking...
And guidance is appreciated, if you have run into this problem.
Thanks in advance.
