Oil Filter Wrench
Hi,
Can anyone tell me where I can a tool to fit the oil and fuel filter caps of the 2008 6.4L engine? It looks like a regular 6pt socket size, but I don't have a caliper to measure it to know whether a metric vs. standard size would work. Does anyone know where the tool can be purchased or what size it is?
thx

I found one here that I think will work: Amazon.com: Lisle 14500 Oil Filter Socket: Automotive
Now I just need to find out what the torque spec is on the cap... cause it looks like it'd be easy to crack if over tightened. Anyone know what that spec is?
thx

Confirming above.
I bot a 36 mm 3/8" drive shallow aluminum fuel filter socket. Sears did not have it in stock, but if you buy it at a SEARS store, they pay the freight. Mine cost $11.00 with tax.
Some of the auto stores try to talk you into buying a steel 1/2" or 3/4" drive socket. The aluminum socket is perfect.
