why go with that filter? i just made a wrench that fits fine on mine then welded a allen to 1 side for the drain plug and the other end of the wrench i welded a socket... sounds funky but it works i have it in my tool box of special tool drawer (thats what the label says) i have all kinds of tools i weld up and modify.

if your askin for a pn on mine i will have to laugh i weld for a living and sometimes you gotta make tools they just dont sell like the oil filter wrench oly place i seen it was snap on and 100 bucks for a wrench ahhh thats ok so i got the cap off measured it made a little jig welded up some flatbar 1/2" thick and tested it alone it fit so then i added a allen and a cheap socket bammm i have a total oil change tool
