Oil filter cup tool

[Joe#]

Basically I'm looking for one of these for my next oil change. But I'm not sure on the correct size. I measured my genuine filter at 76mm but I don't want to order one and then it not fit..

This is the style I'm looking for. Hopefully someone can help.

Thanks.

Mine says 76/12 on it. Assume that's a 76mm then.

I've always managed with a cheapo chain wrap style one. I Just find you have to get as close to the engine block as possible so it doesn't just crush the filter. Or man up and do it with your hands lol

Believe me this one wasn't going anywhere lol! Cut hands, the lot.

Sounds about right that, any job on the Sports usually ends up with getting injuries lol

Yep, I've leaned that a few times already mate

I've always used the one in the OP on my clios.

Never had a problem, just remove fuel rail guard, pop it on the filter, and then put a spanner to it. It's just a little too tight to use a ratchet.

Screwdriver + hammer = job done.

Me? Pikey?! You've got me confused with some one else....
