3 in 1 Filter Wrench, 17mm Magnetic Drain Bolt, OEM Oil Filter, Crush Washers?

[the Ferret]

Although I have filter cap tools to fit just about any size- I don't use them any more.

I have had several times that I end up fighting with an oily messy used filter to get it back out of the cap.

I purchashed a set of filter pliers a few years ago and love them. Like these-

Also something else learned from years of working on stuff- I now use a tq wrench on a lot of things when I never did as a kid. And yea- there was times I had to deal with stripped stuff.

It is pretty common on cars for shop monkeys to strip the oil pan plugs. If you have never wrenched on anything before, take the time to do it right and start with good habits instead of learning by mistake.

I found those pliars to be the cats meow on my 13 where I had to come in from the side, but prefer the filter cap on my 14 where I come in from the front between the pipes.
