MOTION PRO oil filter wrench

MOTION PRO offers this oil filter wrench. On many engines, the oil filter is a metal canister screwed onto the engine and changed at every oil change.

Why a filter wrench?

The benefits:

• Cup sized to the filter: it bears on every flute and turns with a ratchet.
• Strap, pliers or universal model: one tool for several filter diameters.
• The filter comes off without being pierced or crushed: no spilt oil and a clean job.

Why choose MOTION PRO?

Motion Pro was founded in California in 1984 by Chris Carter, a former Yamaha off-road test rider and ISDT gold medallist; having started out with control cables, the company now holds more than 30 patents.

When should you replace this tool?

A cracked cup or one with rounded flutes, a stretched or frayed strap, worn plier jaws: replace the wrench, it slips and tears the filter instead of undoing it.

Specifications and fitting tips

• Manufacturer part number: 08-0400

Cross-Mania tip: Choose a cup with the exact diameter and number of flutes of your filter, and tighten the new filter by hand or to the manufacturer’s torque, with its seal oiled: the wrench is mainly for removal.

Compatibility

Workshop tool: it works on any motorcycle or ATV. Just check the size or dimension stated.
