FL500s is still widely sold in the US. But I did hear somebody say his dealership put something else inside. So yeah, dealers my use some other filter that also works. But I prefer to stick to the parts written in the manual.
Something better than that sh***t i believe
Which one is the right one? They both say Fl500s wrench, but the sizes are different. No idea why.
IMO you definitely don't need an oil filter wrench. You can easily spin off/on these filters by hand to an appropriate torque.
The 74mm / 75.2mm one is the correct one.Which one is the right one? They both say Fl500s wrench, but the sizes are different. No idea why.
Okay thanks. And can you tell me why this helped? Some say you can easily do this with your hands. I'm now on the edge to buy them or not buy them.The 74mm / 75.2mm one is the correct one.
It depends upon who did the work installing the oil filter you are trying to remove. Some think it is like some sort of contest to see how tightly they can install it.
In my case, the factory worker.
Sorry for the delay. So it's certainly possible to use a strap wrench or one of the clamping type devices with jaws that go over the top and grab the filter however in my case, I have a rotator cuff issue so it's difficult for me to use a lot of force on the filter and this wrench fits perfectly which many of the less expensive versions do not.
from the factory it is very tight i had to use a big set of pliers to get it off
Same.
