Toyota "hear the angels sing" uses a plastic oil filter housing that will break if you use anything but the proper tool for it. Use the proper tool and life is blissful.
Yes, the Toyota housing (really only a "cap) is made of plastic. It's made to accept a standard oil filter wrench, don't remember the size, it's metric, and the cap comes right off and you drop the filter out. Never had a problem with mine in over 7 years. Though plastic, it's very very heavy duty and would be very hard to break. Worst thing about the Tundra oil change is taking the heavy metal skid plate off. Some Tundra owners cut a round hole under the oil filter cap so they don't have to remove the skid plate. That's 90% of the work.
