Your best bet in regards to the oil filter cap is to go down to Halfords and buy that tool I sent you and see if it fits on the cap whilst in Halfords car park. If it doesn’t fit then take it back for a refund or measure the diameter of the cap should give you the right size.

Great advice, i don't need it till August i was just looking for something to do, polished car swept garage so running out of jobs.
Check the Dia and count the flats or flutes as some people call them. Have a look on eBay there's a big choice on there. I got one for my car for £6.00 I actually used a £5.00 voucher that eBay sent me and got it for a Quid. It works fine.

Just use a strap/chain wrench, one size fits most.

With the old all-in-one cartridge type filters, I'd agree with you, but with the newer cartride insert type, I'd prefer to use the socket type.

I have used my strap wrench on the plastic cap on my cartridge filter in my M113 engine without any issues.

Strap wrench might be ok, if I didn't have the socket, and I've often used them in the past, but under no circumstances would I use the chain wrap. They can seriously mangle a filter. But in recent years, they only use the bio biodegradable types filters removable ones.
