Product Information
Full details
The Facom D.160 Oil Filter Cap Wrench is designed for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who require a reliable, slip-free solution for oil filter maintenance. Its primary benefit is the precise 15-point, 74mm interface that allows for high-torque removal without damaging the filter canister; however, users should verify their specific oil filter diameter before purchase, as it is only compatible with 74mm filter housings.

Troubleshooting
Wrench is not fitting onto the filter
Check that the oil filter matches the 74mm, 15-point specification; remove any heavy caked-on dirt or paint from the filter canister that might be obstructing the fit.
Tool slips during operation
Ensure the wrench is pushed fully onto the filter cap and that your ratchet is set to the correct direction; apply steady, even pressure to the handle.
Pros and Cons

- Professional-grade durability

Cons
- Specific to 74mm filters only

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the D.160, simply ensure the oil filter surface is clean of heavy debris, align the 15-point wrench with the cap of your filter, and press firmly until it seats fully. Attach your 3/8-inch drive ratchet to the center square drive hole. Always ensure the tool is seated squarely before applying torque to avoid rounding the filter edges. After use, wipe the wrench down with a shop rag to remove excess oil. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the metal surface. Do not use the tool with an impact driver, as the high-impulse force may damage the filter or the tool interface.
