Hello Guys,

I wanted to change my oil filter and used a strap wrench to remove my filter but i can't get a grip on that sucker :damn:.

I went to Advance Auto Parts for a Oil Filter Wrench but they have several different sizes.

I was wondering if anyone knows the size for a Oil Filter Wrench for 2006 Suzuki GSXR 1000.

Thanks guys.

measure with a string or something. Or find one with the nylon strap and it will fit any size filter. But I think you already have a screwdriver:lol:

I use a rubber strap wrench. Easier to deal with than the socket style filter wrench.

on my 06 i went with a K&N oil filter...same size wrench needed for the oil drain plug as the oil filter.... my .02

stop being a little girl and use your hand. :thumbup:
just make sure the filter or your hand isnt oily

Thanks

Thank you guys,

I didn't know I could punch through that thing; but loved the idea... Will definately try it.

Also the new filter K&R has a built bolt on top, so there is no problem there.

If you don't want to stab it a medium size pair of chanel locks will work.

phillips head will go in easier then a flat head... more of a point to em

just make sure when you put the new one on just snug it with your hand, that way next time you should be able to get it off by hand

+1 on jamming the flathead through

for future reference use k&n oil filters from now on, they have a nut at the top that a ratchet or wrench will fit on to ease removal/installation. no more oil filter wrenches or jamming screwdrivers through! yay! just remember not to torque it down much more than you can do with just your bare hand.

The type cap that fits over the end of the cannister I got is 17mm. You might try one of those or switch to K&N which I don't know the size of.
