Re: Oil filter spanner
Hi all
DON'T use the strap type of oil filter wrench. You will crush the can, distort the seal and the filter will leak. I know, I have done it and, before you tell me, I didn't do it up too tight. Use the proper tool as previously shown in this thread. Not only is it inexpensive but it is the easiest tool to use. If you do your own servicing, you are saving heaps so make your life easy.
Just my 2 bob's worth.

Re: Oil filter spanner
I just tried to order one of these spanners for my Oct Build diesel and the part number given on here is no good for my vehicle.
The 08 Parado has a smaller filter I'm told.
The guy found the right part number and I will post it once it's known to me.

Re: Oil filter spanner
I have to let the dealer service it every 10,000k, however I want to change the oil every 5000k.
Hence, if the dealer puts it on tight, I will be able to get it off with the spanner.

Re: Oil filter spanner
Bought the Oil Filter Spanner today (Melbourne City) and the total price including GST was $34.38-
Part number was still 09228-07501 applicable to my late 07 model.
That's not bad.
I'm planning to do 5,000km oil & filter changes when I do heavy driving and when conditions get extreme.
The oil doesn't look that good after 10,000 km of 'normal' driving.

I used to use a large pair of adjustable grips but I've just bought this one, and I marked on the top with White marker, I, II, III at 1/3rds so you know how far to turn when tightening the new filter.
Works a treat.
