the strap wrenches, the pliers and the adjustable 3 jaw oil filter tools won't work on this generation corolla. you will need to purchase the specific oil filter socket that will fit the plastic cup. since it's plastic you will run into the issue of damaging the cup when you use the wrong tools.
you'll need to contact the neighborhood snap-on, matco, mac or cornwell tool guy to be able to purchase the correct oil filter socket. you can also attempt to purchase the toyota specific special service tool (SST) from your local toyota dealership.
