Oil wrench for a plastic cap 74mm/14 flutes

[Aro2323]

Hi Guys,
I'm about to change an oil in my Mercedes and I can see that the access to oil filter cup is quite difficult. It will be nice to use a proper oil wrench (I believe it is 74mm/14 flutes for a M104 engine). Of course there is plenty of them on eBay but if anyone has got one around Birmingham and wish to borrow it for a day or so I'll hugely appreciate it,

Thanks in advance for any help.

I got mine from 'frauds for £6.99.

you mean Halfords
is it excattly 74mm/14 flutes or slightly bigger? I've found some thing like this:

Halfords | Laser Oil Filter Cup Wrench 76mm

No I meant 'frauds. Short for Halfrauds.

That's the one I bought, it fits perfectly. Although you're gonna need tools to remove it from it's packaging. It's riveted to the thick cardboard through the 3/8 socket hole, and the rivet is really strong, so pliers, some bending, twisting and shouting.

OK, thanks for letting me know.

Still looking for good people around Birmingham that already have a tool and wish to share it
