That's not helpful.. What's up with you wise guys throwing out the "search" response all the time?? Is there some kind of reward for being a smart-ass??
In the time it takes to type a smart ass answer you could actually type something useful and make this forum a place people would want to hang out.
And for what it's worth I DID look around before I posted because I knew some idiot would throw the "search" comment out.

It's quite obvious that you didn't search. All you have to do is type "oil filter tool" into the google box at the left and lots of threads will appear with the answer. __________________ ~Dave~

but searching and not giving attitude about us insisting you search would have been easier. __________________

For me, it was the exact same cap type tool that has a 3/8 socket adapter that works on my 03 VW TDI's. Funny how it works out sometimes, sure wish it worked out a lot more... | | | | | 08-01-2010, 04:15 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |

strap wrench, monkey wrench, oil filter wrench, and hopefully an actual socket soon. __________________  No more ti. | | | | | 08-23-2010, 03:03 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Auburn, Alabama Posts: 206 |
I use an oil filter socket made by Lisle, comes in 3/8. I got mine from bavauto but I'm sure you can get it at Oreilly's, Advance, etc. | | | | |
