Unique-Bargains 15 Flute 78mm Oil Filter Wrench Cap Tool

SKU CH-NHV4-305H9

A 15-flute stainless-steel cap wrench with a 78 mm inner diameter and 13 mm square drive removes cartridge oil-filter caps without damage

  • 15 flutes grip cartridge caps securely
  • 78 mm inner diameter fits common filter housings
  • 13 mm square drive works with standard ratchets
  • Stainless steel construction resists corrosion
  • 84 mm outer diameter clears surrounding engine components

Cap-style oil filter wrench

This 78 mm inner-diameter cap wrench fits cartridge-style oil filter housings on many vehicles. It uses a 13 mm square drive for a ratchet or breaker bar and has 15 flutes that grip the cap evenly. The stainless-steel body has a matte chrome finish to resist corrosion.

Suits DIY oil changes on cars with cartridge caps

Home mechanics who want to service their own cartridge filters will find the deep-reach design and multi-flute grip secure and slip-resistant. Builders who need a strap, claw or socket-style wrench for spin-on canisters or larger housings should look at a different tool type.

Handles standard 78 mm caps with 15-flute contact

The 84 mm outer diameter and 48 mm height give enough depth for recessed caps while the 15 flutes spread torque to avoid cracking plastic cartridges. It will not fit caps with a different inner diameter, fewer or more flutes, or a drive size other than 13 mm.

Questions about this item

What drive tool do I need to turn the 13 mm square socket on this wrench?

A 13 mm square-drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench fits the socket and provides the leverage to loosen or tighten the cartridge oil-filter cap.

Will the 15-flute, 78 mm inside-diameter cap engage the plastic filter housing on my older vehicle without cracking it?

The 15 flutes spread torque evenly across the housing, and the 78 mm inside diameter matches many cartridge caps, reducing the risk of damage on older plastic units.

How can I confirm the wrench is seated correctly before I apply force?

The cap should sit flush on the filter housing with all 15 flutes fully engaged and the 13 mm square socket aligned for straight pull; no rocking means it is ready.
