Oil Filter Wrench for V8V

just purchased an oil filter wrench by Facom. Its a 76mm wrench with 12 notches. Fits my oil filter perfectly. Much better than the strap wrench and expandable/collapsible wrenches I have been using. You may wish to give it a try. i purchased it at Princess auto here in Canada but I suspect that it can be had elsewhere

Facom FW.P76-12

Perfect Fit Oil Filter Socket

I tried the noted pliers and found this socket a much easier solution - fits the V8 Vantage OEM 12 flute filter perfectly. - just $12 on Amazon. No fuss or slip - highly recommend; https://a.co/d/5beyK6M.

These are the best type, reduces the chance of something going wrong (like pinching the filter).
