    Just bought a oil filter wrench on ebay for my 355 from a place called aceparts in the uk. My total cost with shipping was about 15 us dollars. It fits great. Part # is VS7006.V2-15. It is 86mm by 18 flutes. Just putting it out there for those of u who may be looking to buy one.

    That's fairly cheap. Is it plastic or metal?

    The only issue I have seen with those is the spot welds can be weak between the cap and insert...and they separate. Someone posted that this happened to them, and they welded the snot out of it, to prevent it from happening again.

    I'm pretty happy with the Hill Engineering one. ;)

    But does this wrench have a ferrari emblem on it ?is it made of titanium ?

    How do you torque the filter to the correct spec as stated by the wsm using this , ugh ,common tool?

    You are a hack , the wheels are going to fall off your car , i hope for safety sake the are no children nearby when your car explodes

    Hey John,

    I love the fact that the 355 filter is in a nice place and points down to drain the oil out :)

    But (at least on a 5.2), side access is not great and I torque mine to spec :)

    (yes, no torque wrench shown in this photo - just pre tightening)

    Yes it is. I could see not wanting to spend 85 bucks for a tool you will use once a year, but at 15 bucks, why bother doing without the tool? Heck, you could include the tool with the car when you go to sell it.

    Apparently you missed the wsm procedure to place the cap in the gas door retainer as to not scratch the paint. You get a D- better luck next time.

    :D

    I will look at the gm performance website to see if there is a tool to accomplish that task properly, thank you kindly foraking me aware of my error, lol

    Remember if you are filling the Turbo you place the little rubber cap tender through the clip on the fuel door. :)

    Thnx , i'll look at that tomorrow, i was wondering , letting it hang on that one seems kinda sloppy.

    Never thought about it , it hangs down so far it only hits the tire , lol
