The one I use has 3 slots on both sides. The one you pictures has 3 slots on one side but only one slot on the other side. Mine is a 2010. This is the one I use. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Y5JWW1W/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
$20 for an obscure tool seems like a fair price to me. A name-brand Toyota oil filter cap wrench costs about that and there are millions of cars driving around that need it.

It has worked pretty well for the 2 oil changes that I have done on my prius. I learned on the first oil change to jack up the front of the car about as high as you can to keep the plastic panel out of the way, and have room for my big socket wrench on the oil filter casing.
