    I need the tool to remove the oil filter from my 2001 360. None of the auto parts stores have one that fits. It is the stock Pureflux.

    The bargain basement alternative, is to use a strap wrench like this:

    (The set depicted does not appear to handle the size required for a Ferrari oil filter btw)

    I got a similar set from Costco or Harbor Freight, I forget. Came with four or five different sizes...put the smaller ones in the kitchen, large ones in the garage. ;) Works great for removal, but it will dent the can if you try and use it to tighten it on too agressively. But if you are even slightly careful, you can use it to tighten without damaging the can.

    The Hill Engineering tool by Ricambi is first class for sure.

    The reason the Hill socket is nice is that you can attach your torque wrench to it and achieve the proper torque spec for the filter, per Ferrari recommendations.
