Oil fiter removal tool

[Kugaman1]

Hi,
Quick question.....Ive searched but cant find the answer.....

What size oil filter removal tool do I need to buy for the 2009 23 (2.5)?
Is it 74mm or maybe 76mm?

Can see lots of the tool but no mention on size!

Thank you in advance...

No one know?

I always use an adjustable one with the chain which digs into the filter ...never fails even on the tightest of filters.

Ive got one of them, fine for regular filters.

However on the 6 cylinders versions, the filter is in a plastic housing which the chain would shatter.

Cheers Rob, but Im only finding 14/16/18 flutes for sale?

Guess I will have to go out and count/measure to try and figure it out.....just thought someone might have known on here!

Call into Europarts and ask!
Try it on for size at the place and if it doesn't fit you wont have far to take it back

I've got one but for a 2.0l four pot
Not sure if they are the same, I'll have a look at let you know (just in case it is)

Mine is 16 flute
Inside it is stamped 86/16
86mm being the internal diameter

Cheers all, will give it a measure at the weekend!

Europarts isn't really an option, nearest branch is an hour away. Only option locally is Halfrauds and they're next to useless.
