Oil Filter Wrench For FL-500S

[embraceentropy]

I am preparing for my first oil change on this car. I saw a post in the GT350 board pointing out a cap-style filter wrench/socket that would fit over their oil filter. I haven't been able to find such information for the FL-500S. Does anyone have a recommendations or sizing for a filter wrench to fit the 500S?

Great find! I tried many iterations in the Amazon search with no luck. Thank you!

Not all 'same size' filter wrenches the same...

I had three vehicles that each used a different size filter. I ended up with 6 filter wrenches. The wrench 'caps' can vary significantly between manufacturers, enough so that the caps do not grip the filter but simply spin/scrape on the filter. I finally ended up first buying a new oil filter and than test fitting the wrench onto the new uninstalled oil filter. Give a hard twist to make sure that the wrench really does grip the filter.
My EB Motorcraft filter is located in such a way that I can use my adjustable metal strap filter wrench. Just slip the circular strap over the filter and the handle self-tightens the strap for easy rotation.

Another option is to visit your local Walmart. They sell both the filters and the cap wrenches. Take a FL-500S out of the box and test fit it to the correct one and you're in business.

If you don't mind paying a little more and want something that works on more sizes, this is what I use:

You can pick one up at Autozone for $5.99.
I just did yesterday and it fits.
