Is it possible to buy Oil wrench locally?

looking for oil filter wrench, I have everything to change the oil, only missing wrench, I bought one yesterday from autozone, supposed to work, the guy even checked for model etc. But when i got home and test it, its a little bit bigger, Should i order from pelicanparts ? or is it possible to buy one locally - I have advanced auto, autozone and pepboys around also O'Reilly- If you guys know the exact model, please let me know unless I order one from pelican parts and call it a day.

if the play bothers you too much some 200 mph tape around the filter will cure the slack!

Is it easy access to change the oil on the 996? Anyone ever installed a Fumoto valve to make draining easier? I installed one on every car for the past 7 years.

Are you going to ask this in every thread about oil ?

It's not difficult, more steps than most cars, but I wouldn't say difficult. If you use the search function you should find a DIY that you can print and follow.

Good luck.
