ok.. so I had a really good oil filter cap extension for past 5 years - you know the thing you pop on top of the actual oil filter cap to unscrew it & remove the filter.. anyway, it broke 2 moths ago & since then I purchased 4 (FOUR!) different ones in various auto stores, INCLUDING one from Bavarian Autosport, & NONE OF THEM F*****G FIT. wtf? doe anyone know a part number (or store) where I can actually get one that fits?! gone 9K without an filter change so far (though I have changed the actual oil)... HELP! LOL  __________________

Have you tried pelican parts? If you lived near me I would let you use mine. The ones I bought at auto stores never did fit. __________________

Are you talking about the 36mm version or larger cap? __________________ ...steven

I guess I got lucky. anyway, I will call PP & see what they have, though I'm a bit sceptical since Bav Auto assured me their's would work - then they refunded me... LOL __________________

I got mine at Autozone.
I asked to take a couple out to my car to find a good fit. __________________ ...
