It uses a 22MM socket or wrench. Almost any generic slip-on filter wrench will be too big to fit through the hole in the subframe cross brace.
If you look at the Assemacher Specialty Tool ( www.asttool.com) online catalog take a look at AST's tool number OFAUD1000; it's a funnel with a fitting on the bottom just like the fitting on the oil filler cap. A quarter twist and it locks on the oil filler tube. You don't need to hold it and it can't move; makes adding oil neat and fast. |
Thanks for going to the trouble of posting the pictures, and especially for the tip about Assemacher Specialty Tool. I wasn't aware of them and they look like a good resource, thanks.
