This reminds me of why I won't use Toyota's dealerships to wipe my ass let alone touch my cars. Made the mistake of taking the wife's Highlander in for service since it was free (first 2 years). Went to do an oil change since they will only do it every 10k free, and her car has a cartridge instead of the spin on filter. I have the correct wrench and it took both feet against the wall with a breaker bar and extension and all my 250+ lbs pulling on it to get that thing off.

Know what TOYOTA recommends for the oil filter cartridge torque??? Just past hand tight!
