    Do they use the same hex plug for Tundra, Tacoma, and 4Runner? Bet they did.

    Yup and they could've used the same Lexus plugs for all those models instead and saved tens of thousands of owners the headache

    I went with the Kaon offering this time around for my drain plug, it'll be here next week. I got a lookalike "Lexus" part on scAmazon last change, and it's created an unholy headache for me to try to remove, as the protruding 14mm bolt head just kinda sharded apart into metal flakes. But it's hardly the economical choice at $35AUD. I was tempted by their fill plug which is equally incredibly beefy, but since I don't have trouble removing the full plug I decided to keep the Lexus part I have (different, genuine supplier for the fill plug. Just got unlucky on the drain.)
