Anyone know the size of the oil filter wrench we need?
My buddy works at Volvo so he asked the tool guy when he comes around... The tool truck says he has one for a 2.3L Mazda 6 but that's all the information he has. So rather then buying it, getting it to me, getting under the car....... might be easiest if anyone knows offhand Or the dimensions.

Edit: I just did a search and apparently there are many different versions of a 76mm size with varying numbers of flutes. Guess I have to get another oil filter wrench. Please ignore the post below.
Ignore the following: Hey Red6, how many different sizes of oil filter wrenches are there? I have a 3" or 75mm wrench but counting the flutes I get 15, not 14. It's aluminum and made by Magnum. I have another filter wrench made by FloTool, called a Super Graphite. It's a "3" size (larger than the Magnum) but it also have 15 flutes. Do they really vary by number of flutes as well as diameter, so that the Magnum I have can't be used on the MS6?

Link doesnt work anymore. This offer still stand? I'm looking at finding a conversion kit (to a regular screw on filter) or find a wrench that will fit it properly without spending an arm and a leg. I have the MS6.
I went to the local automotive store and they didnt have shit that would fit my car like this... and it was Advanced Auto. I forgot about the Autozone here in town so I guess I'll look around there tomorrow... or the O'Reily's.
Yup, couldn't find it. The guy who I spoke to also looked on the shelf and in the computer and couldn't find it. He said they didn't have that size. Thats the answer I got last year, and today when I called.
Autozone did say they have it though. I forgot that company even existed until I read this thread lol.
