Had the car up and the oil drained so didn't want to wait for the internet order and shipping. Went to Autozone - and yes sir no freaking clue. Tried to get me to try a multi-sized spring loaded device that tightens as you turn - I guess it either would work or crush the filter housing.

Anyway wandered to the back and found the mysterious oil filter wrench "B" - no size marked, so specs, no description, nothing. To most everyone (includIng the clerks) it was a just black cap thingy in a bin.

But it worked perfect on a filter housing that was tighter than s&*! and hadn't been off in probably a couple of years or more.

THANKS!
