Bought this the other day and it was a god send for taking the oil filter off. Says on the tin adjustable oil filter remover 65-120mm diameter, suitable for restricted access as the Zed is, grips tighter as more force is applied. Used the other day and was the easiest I have ever removed an oil filter.

Just thought I'd post it up here as most of us do our own oil changes and not seen anything like this posted before.

Oh better tell you where I bought it, happy halfrauds £16.99 :bow:

changed the blood on mine today, whipped it straight off by hand ;)

 

oh btw that silkolene oil as recommended by oil man rocks!

Looks neat, after years of wanting a filter wrench having made do with a bit of old seat belt and mole grips, I bought a chain based product from machine mart (http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=040210265&r=2205&g=107), it was great for easy to access areas on mowers etc, but last week was naff on my Z due the restricted space and that the filter was wet.

 

I had been looking at this sort of thing for the Z

But guess that these three pronged ones would be better
