That looks nice, but I doubt that there's clearance for it.

Customer review of 3-jaw type universal oil filter wrench
http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Best-Universal-Filter-Wrench/product-reviews/B000UD0CTQ/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

(I haven't used this type of wrench.)

good for removing, not so good for installing.

The rule is hand tighten, but not crazy much, except we all have varying degree of how tight we can ge it by hand.. But for threads like that, i say without too much force until the thread stops, then add 1/4 turn to it by hand. THe heat cycling and crud will usually keep it on there afterwords without loosening up.


so i never used one for install. only to remove.

Never had a leaking issue with a hand tightened filter...

lordy lord, snap on made in china.

the big multigrips don't fail, and it matters not what the old filter looks like.

i can tighten them past 11nm by hand, but it's a two handed effort.

I use k & n oil filters for my bikes...
When I was using the Ducati filter I had hard time removing it
Cos I couldn't put any socket or strap tool around it bcoz the exhaust pipe was
On the way ... Also I couldn't tighten it all the way by hand so it was leaking ..
The kn filters come with a 17mm nut welded on the bottom .. and that made my life easy...  And It's 5-6 $ cheaper )

well changed the oil tonight. Only filter tool that I have to for this stupid thing was a screwdriver and a hammer. Came off really easy though. Now it has a K&N and the problem is solved. Next time I'm waiting more that 5 min to drain the oil after a ride though. Damn that oil was hot. the temp was at 195 right before I killed it.
