Oil filter wrench

[conbrio]

I just picked this up to work on my wife's Rav4. Will it also work on a 10th gen Civic? It has 14 flutes. Thanks!

It might work. This is the one I use for my Si and its 65 mm.

Thanks for that! I will look into that wrench. If there was a single oil filter wrench that would work for both the Civic and the Rav4, I'd get that.

I use one of these, this is universal.

Got a link to that wrench? Is that just a clamp on?

I have been using one of these for many years, they are excellent.

How does that grab onto a really stuck filter? Looks like it would just slip?

It doesn’t slip, take my word for it. Presently they cost $5 at Princess Auto, very good price.

Yeah I just saw the one review on the Princess Auto site and it gave a negative review, although I'll probably go still pick one up based on your take, plus for $5 can't go wrong.

I just use an adjustable oil wrench if I cannot spin it off by hand. The wrench adjusts 2.5 to 4.5 inches so it can fit on almost any vehicle. Mine also has a bend in the neck making it easier to fit when laying under the car.

I always put the new filter on by hand, never use a tool to do so.

Nice to know that people are using all sorts of tools to get the filter off. I thought the only options were the official Honda filter wrench or a generic strap wrench.

Any tools that fit your needs are ok, for installation it’s only hand tight.
I used to shop at Princess Auto in Edmonton when I was posted to CFB Cold Lake.

Well I just picked up that Fram universal filter wrench for only $5 from Princess Auto. Pretty ingenious design, in that it locks on tighter the more your torque it in the removal direction. It won't work for installations but that's okay since that's a hand job only... thanks for the recommendations everyone, looking forward to trying it on the next oil change.

You won't regret your purchase, for five bucks you can't go wrong.

She told me the same thing...lol
