Oil-filter wrenches & cap sockets

Identify the filter design before choosing the tool.

Choose for the task

Lisle 63600 covers 2-1/2 to 3-1/8 inch spin-on filters; 63250 covers 3-1/8 to 3-7/8 inch filters. Both need enough room for the jaws and drive tool. The 13270 low-profile socket set serves suitable filter caps instead. Identify the filter or cap design and exact geometry before selecting by diameter or set size alone.

What to check before buying

The 63600 is removal-only. Install the replacement filter or housing using the manufacturer procedure and any specified torque. Confirm engine, housing material, access and socket size rather than relying on a broad vehicle-family claim.
