Good Morning Copenistas, I have only had one oil filter change since purchasing the car and my local garage charged me twice what it would have cost for a 'normal' car. (Actually when I called to find out if the car was ready I could hear the mechanic in the background swearing at the little chap!) So I have decided to do it myself but I need to know which oil filter removal tool to use. Apparently the Diahatsu tool is over £60.00 but Laser do a range of tools for a fraction of the costs the question is which one? http://www.lasertools.co.uk/item.aspx?cat=1056&item=3595 I also need to know where to purchase the 'short' filter and again your advice would be gratefully received. Ned
I got two - a 65mm and a 68mm. They are the same tools as motorbike oil filter removers, so they aren't as bad pricewise as the "special" Daihatsu tool I got this one, and it works perfect. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/MOTORCYCLE-C...69?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4842704311
It depends on the oil filter you are using, so I can't give you a 100% answer. It's most likely either the 65 or 68mm for nearly all filters
I buy my genuine Daihatsu filters from sg petch - not as cheap as a generic one but that goes with the territory.
I had a similar problem finding the wrench, but I found a good one and posted the details today. I use the genuine 68mm Daihatsu one. Good luck
