Cup, chain, strap or claw — the housing decides, not you · review
The cup set: fourteen sizes from 65 to 100 mm (2.56 to 3.94 in) with both drive adapters — the only correct tool for a plastic cartridge housing.
The last word The correct tool for modern filters, in fourteen sizes. Find your number, then buy this.
Fourteen steel cup wrenches from 65 to 100 mm (2.56 to 3.94 in) with 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive adapters.
A plastic cartridge housing has flutes molded into it, and the cup engages all of them at once. Force is spread rather than concentrated, which is the only way to turn a plastic part that is holding oil pressure.
Diameter and flute count, both usually printed on the housing. A 15-piece set exists because that number varies between manufacturers, and because a household with two cars often needs two sizes.
A cup for every possible housing. If yours is above 100 mm (3.94 in) or has an unusual flute count, check before ordering — the sizes are published.

It is usually molded or stamped on the housing, together with the number of flutes — for example 74 mm (2.91 in), 14 flutes. If you cannot see it, measure across the flats of the housing you are about to remove.
Because the housing is plastic and the cap is designed to be turned by a matched socket. Pliers and straps concentrate force and crack it, and a cracked housing means a second delivery before the car moves.
