A great oil filter wrench

[PDR]

I bought a oil filter wrench from Halfords a few weeks ago for £12.99… now realise they only cost £5.95 from here:

Anyhow, regardless of price it is a really good tool. I have used it twice now and it makes changing the filter really easy.

You can tighten, slacken and re-position for the next turn easily with one hand.

My engine is the V6 petrol, but I suspect that access is just as cramped on the 2.4 & 3.0 diesel engines.

Just thought it was worth sharing.

personally i prefer the spider filter tool, as you never need to tighten them up more than hand tight they are perfect. and a lot stronger.

personal preferance.

I've never needed a tool to remove or replace the oil filter, I've got a 2.4 and I'm either doing something wrong to not need a tool or it's just easier.

the 3.0 filter is at an angle which makes it awkward to get leverage with one of those strap things so i may invest in one of those 3 legged ones from halfords that you use a ratchet on

something like that it is.It certainly looks a hell of alot easier to use on the filter than those chain or strap ones
