I looked quickly for the wrench, but didn't see it in my drawer where it's supposed to be. I can look more thoroughly tomorrow after I meet my deadline for the project I'm working on.

If you want to measure it, you measure across the diameter from flat to flat, then count the number of flats on the filter cup.

I verified the information above. My filter wrench is a "Rite-Fit" model A251. I bought is 2 weeks or so ago for $2.49 at Pep Boys. It has 14 sides and fits the filter housing perfectly. It is metal and was stamped in China.
