There is no standard between filter brands. That's why I have a dozen different filter end cap sockets.Are all oil filters in PH3614 size the same size regardless of make?
same, use maximum hand grip and crush it if needed.My preference for most vehicles:

Cool! I might have to buy one just to try it out.This $13 Lisle 63600 oil filter tool has never failed to easily remove an oil filter for me.
I would buy a second if the first didn't still work perfectly after years and years.
They wont work on some engines. due to filter location.This $13 Lisle 63600 oil filter tool has never failed to easily remove an oil filter for me.

I have some knockoffs that are my go to.Lisle 50750 has been tool of choice for years.

Those are great wrenches and do the trick with many different filters. I always liked my old time strap wrenches but would buy one of those today if I were still doing lots of the auto work that I used to.This $13 Lisle 63600 oil filter tool has never failed to easily remove an oil filter for me.

Use a band type wrench on the grippy coating..No, Fram puts the grip coating making your wrench not fit.
Its all different per manufacturer, I did contacted Fram a few months ago about oil filter wrench sizes, they'll tell you the corresponding diameter and flute count tool that fits their products.Are all oil filters in PH3614 size the same size regardless of make?

Yep. Got one of those too I used for a long time. Like how u can slip a screw driver in the hole to get a little extra leverage. Some guys tell methey use a large jawed cresent wrench tightened down on the metal rod to pull also. Say that works well too.I have some knockoffs that are my go to.
but they still wont work on some.. I have a strap wrench you turn with a ratchet for those.
They are a little fiddley to get started but work on some of the harder to reach filters such as the jeep 2.0 when surrounded on 3 sides by the oil pan. Also can work through the access hole to filter on some cars without needing the entire undershield removed.
Obviously if you have an oil pit or lift it can be easier angles vs ramps.

yeah that is a really good looking one. Like how a ratchet can be attatched to help turn it easily. A feature lots of the strap wrenches seem to have been made without.This looks interesting, similar to the one in post #11, but looks a bit more compact for use in pretty tight places.
Good Morning Rand,They wont work on some engines. due to filter location.
but as long as the filter is accessible should work on many.
The 3 jaw/leg type too.
