Any suggestions on an oil filter wrench for a 6.4 liter 2024 Power Wagon?
 
I remember the first oil change the filter was on there like a MF but I don’t think there is really any room for a filter wrench.
Anyways, moving forward put it on by hand and don’t over tighten and it’s easy enough to remove without tools
 
I use a cup type with a ratchet. But be careful as different brand filters are different sizes. I use a WIX filter and even then, I get different sizes so have to have 2 cup type filter wrenches.
 
I have a drawer full of oil filter wrenches. Usually the small swivel band wrench works on mine. Getting the original off on a new truck usually involves lots of swearing, but it's not bad after that.
 
I just buy the K&N oil filters with the nut welded to the end. Makes it really easy.

I already don’t like using a Wix filter, no way I’d ever buy a K&N anything.

Reviews and dissections seem to indicate that the K&N white filters are as high quality as anything else.

I can’t recall any discussion that used K&N and high quality in the same sentence. I’ve always felt like they offered the best advertised screen door media.

But I was surprised to fix Wix as a reminded filter for the 6.4, so I guess anything is possible.
 
I’ve got five or six other oil filter wrenches of different types. This seems to work the best for me.

Their air filters are garbage, but their oil filters are fine. I think they’re actually made by one of the other big companies, but I forget which one.
 
I have a 74mm 14 flute filter wrench and it’s the right tool for the job in my opinion. Perfectly fits a wix 57060xp

I only make mine tight enough so I can remove it by hand during the next oil change ...
