Oil filter socket

[vroom ZOOM]

Hey everyone

I found myself doing a bunch of oil changes on mercruisers this year. (about 4 per day). A strap wrench doesn't always work the best. Does anyone remember what size oil filter socket mercruiser oil filters use? Thanks.

Nope, but they're standard Chevy filters,.... 4.3l is the only oddball,....

I'm a fan of the Lisle filter wrench. Bites onto the filter. Turns with a 3/8" drive ratchet. Haven't yet found a filter that's on so tight this won't get it off...as long as you have the room to get a 3/8" ratchet (or combination of extensions/UJ's) onto it.

I have an OTC kit with 18 different sockets

I think I have collected 7-8 of those over the years

I have that one too. Used to use it on my 4.3 filters before I found the right cap/socket wrench

I have many wrenches and sockets, but the correct one always hides when needed. But I always can find a big ass adjustable wrench, and if needed a big screwdriver
