Hope this recommendation is more solid than the one in your post in reply 5 above to this thread.

 

It's not a recommendation at all. Just offering a part number if 89mm happens to be the right size. It's hard to know how the tool manufacturers measure a nut with an uneven number of sides (15).

 

 

I always called my wrench a 90mm until I read this thread. So I just measured my Assenmacher cap wrench (See Post #2 above). Didn't have a caliper handy; used a decent pair of magnifying glasses. Came out to 88.5mm ID and 95mm OD. Wall thickness to just over 3mm.

Haven't noticed slop when using. Fits snug on my 5.0L. Don't see rounding corners of the plastic housing happening if staying within decent torque spec and not reefing the cap. (25Nm if I remember correctly--don't quote me.)

 

 

 

Now that you mention it, yeah. Stamped on the filter housing. Would be nice if more parts, if not fasteners, had that feature.

 

My original filter housing/canister and base had purple alignment marks on them which looked like factory marking with a permanent ink pen. The same colour purple as a number of other markings on the engine.
The first time I changed the filter it became "tight enough" about 2 mm past alignment, the second time about 3 mm past.
Last time (two months ago) I replaced the canister as I had bought the full factory kit (canister & base & filter) as this kit was going real cheap on Fleabay AU, less than the normal price of the filter by itself. I didn't have a cap type removal tool at the time (I still don't, still waiting for delivery of Lance's 88 mm special!), I simply used my strap type removal tool to keep turning it until it rather abruptly felt nice and firm.
Funny thing is on my old XFR the canister was scratched to buggery and was a real bear to get off the first time, obviously some pimply apprentice in the dealership had gone ape on it with a plumber's wrench!

 

I was finally able to figure out how to measure these 15 flat applications. The Steelman 6128 measures exactly 90mm from middle of the flat to the opposing peak. Seems I owe you an 89mm wrench as that's what the filter housing measures. I ordered one and will have it in two weeks. Will let you know if it works. The 90mm is just too loose. It will bugger up housing after awhile.

 

All, I received my 89mm, 15 flat aluminum oil filter wrench. FIts perfect for the oil filter cover shown in the picture. As much as I do not like buying from Amazon...it was the easiest!

 

 

Here is the correct 907 wrench on EBay for less than $5.00.

Lance, you a very lucky boy and your bill has been cancelled.
The slow boat from China finally docked this morning and delivered my el cheapo Fleabay special 88 mm x 15 flutes oil canister removal tool, and hey presto it fitted and worked perfectly!
Thing is on the top are etched "907" (which seems to be the agreed correct size for us) and "89-88 15P".
The 89-88 bit intrigued me until I examined it a bit closer, then I saw how it fits both 89 mm and 88 mm sizes - it is "stepped" such that the bottom half is 89 mm and the top half is 88 mm.

 

Yes thanks for posting the number 907 on the wrench. Seems there are an entire family of these type of wrenches all with different numbers on them.
I searched on EBay for 907 oil filter wrench and found one under $5. So they are out there.

Too bad I wasted money on the 2 incorrect Steelman versions but they are all pretty cheap. So not a big deal.

So relieved to hear this. The mechanical gods do indeed smile on me.

 

Thanks to magredvet and DJS for suggesting this tool. Bought it and it works great. Much better than most sockets because it is very deep.

 

Motivx Tools 90mm 15 Flute Oil Filter Wrench for Land Rover & Jaguar - Fits 3.0L & 5.0L Gas Engines fits my 2015 V8S perfectly.

 

Interesting...my ‘16 V6S takes an 89 mm wrench.

 

Spend a little extra and get a cast aluminum version. The stamped steel ones sometimes slip and can dull or ruin the filter housing facets. I have the Motivx and it works perfect. Mark a line with a paint marker across the flange so you don't have to worry about torquing it.
