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.

 

heres what i use. its a filter tool from my harley davidson. 76mm fits perfect. any harley shop should have one

 

thank you!

 

I got my filter wrench from autozone... it's a 76mm with 14 sides to it. It was like $5.

 

+1 to what these guys have said, 76mm-14flute.
Cheers,

 

yep i got one from harley davidson, it has some play but i was able to uncrew it. thanks again

 

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

 

I bought oem one from ecs because I'm an **** nerd lol.

 

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.

 

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.

 

4 different places to drain the oil. 2 turbo tanks main engine block and oil tank. filter is right on top when you open the lid
