Oil Filter Wrench

[Mr Horsepower]

Does anyone know of a good quality cap type oil filter wrench that fits the PF48 and PF48E filters? The clearance around the filter does not allow for a conventional strap type filter wrench so I've been using the KD (deep) cap type and yesterday it stripped itself and the filter and caused a big pucker moment getting the filter off. After trying every tool I had, I ended up drilling through the KD cap and filter and putting in 3 screws to get be able to remove the filter. Never want to go through that again!!

Should work. Can not remember the size but believe it has to be 13 flutes.

You can also put on the premium K&N Oil filter that has a small nut on the bottom that allows you to easily remove it. They aren't cheap at around $15 but for how easy they are to remove they are well worth it!

This is the one that I use. Spring loaded and adjusts to fit pretty much any oil filter.

After buying every type of oil filter wrench they had(including 2 cap types that couldn't clear) this is the one that I ended up keeping: https://www.walmart.com/ip/FRAM-Oil-Filter-Pliers/16776200
