Product Information
Full details
The BikeService 68mm 14 Flute Oil Filter Wrench is a professional-grade tool designed for motorcycle mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, non-destructive way to remove and install canister-style oil filters. This cup-style wrench excels in tight engine bays where standard strap wrenches might fail, providing a secure grip that prevents filter crushing. While it offers excellent durability with its steel construction and rust-resistant finish, users should verify their specific filter size and flute count before purchase, as it is precision-engineered for 68mm 14-flute applications only.

FAQs
Does this fit all motorcycle oil filters?
No, it is specifically designed for 68mm filters with 14 flutes. Please verify your filter specifications in your motorcycle owner's manual.
Can I use an impact wrench with this tool?
The tool is rated for 85 ft/lbs of torque, but it is recommended to use hand tools to avoid over-tightening or damaging the filter housing.
What is the benefit of the 19mm hex feature?
The 19mm hex allows you to use a standard wrench or spanner if you do not have access to a 3/8-inch drive ratchet.
Will this crush my filter?
No, the cup-style design grips the flutes like a socket rather than squeezing the sides, which significantly reduces the risk of crushing.
How do I prevent the wrench from rusting?
The wrench is finished with an electro-black oxide coating, but you should wipe off all oil and moisture after use before storing it in a toolbox.
Is this tool suitable for automotive use?
It is designed primarily for motorcycle applications. Check your automotive oil filter size to see if it matches the 68mm 14-flute requirement.
Troubleshooting
Tool slips off the filter during operation
Ensure the filter is free of debris or heavy oil film that might impede the seating of the wrench, and verify the flute count matches your filter.
Wrench is stuck on the filter after installation
Gently tap the side of the wrench with a rubber mallet while applying light pulling pressure to release it from the filter flutes.
Tight fit when installing a new filter
Check for minor burrs on the new filter housing or ensure the tool is perfectly square to the filter's face.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this tool, ensure the engine is cool and you have the correct 68mm 14-flute filter specified by your motorcycle manufacturer. Align the tool with the filter flutes and push it until it seats fully. You can attach a 3/8-inch drive ratchet directly or use a 19mm spanner on the external hex nut to turn the tool. After completing the oil change, wipe the tool clean of residual engine oil using a shop rag. Store the tool in a dry location; although it features an electro-black oxide finish, keeping it free of grime will ensure the longevity of the metal.
