For future readers of this thread: 15 flutes is for oil filter; 14 flutes is for filter housing.

?
So this filter tool fits the NAPA Gold spin-off filter? Oil change coming up so this would be a little easier than my old strap filter tool.

The one I'm looking at is: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...B&gclsrc=aw.ds

Just want to make sure it's the correct size.

Thanks.
I dont have a spare. The one I do have is a nice snug fit so I leave it on at all times , that way I always know where mine is situated lol.

Well, back to the drawing board. This one doesn't fit the Napa filter (too loose).

My car, with The IMS Solution spin on filter, I can just use my hand to loosen the filter.
Some client cars I can just use my hand too, some I use one of the 30+ filter sockets that I own.
The tool above is similar to what I use on client's cars where some yahoo has over torqued the spin on filter.
On other people's 996es with the OEM housing, I've (carefully) used the above tool too.

As I mentioned a few posts up, the 74mm 15 flute socket was too big for the Napa Gold filters. I can say for certain that this 73mm 15 flute version does work.

Great, have to change oil this week or next so I'll get it ordered.
