Just wondering what oil filter wrench you would recommend.
Already got a couple for Suzuki, Toyota like the dedicated 14 flute types that fit a 3/8" wrench but the quality and fit varies. Got a genuine Suzuki one and just discovered it fits the bikes and the cars.
Also have the K&D 3 jaw type which is great for removing just about everything but its no help on refitting the filter and getting a 3/4 turn.
Usually you can get your hands on the filter an just get enough grip to do the 3/4" turn but had fun with a Suzuki Swift (forgot my proper tool) yesterday because the oil filter is right next to the CAT and downpipe so you wouldn't want to do it by hand until the engine cools off. Manage to burn my elbow getting the sump plug out when it briefly touched it.
Also confirmation that the Hyundai version is a 15 Flute 88.5 to 88.8mm.
Some are pressed steel and others are cast alloy, I suspect the following one on AliExpress is reasonable. Yeah they probably all "work" but some are a much better fit to the filter than others.
Basically it looks exactly the same as the ones sold on Amazon that are "Branded" for a higher price like "ARES" and "OEMTOOLS"
I WOULD SAY THIS IS DEFINATLY THE WRONG ONE FOR THE I30N. COMPATIBILITY NOTES ON EBAY FOR THIS ONE HAS DIFFERENT HYUNDAI CARS LISTED LIKE A V6 ETC.
