Oil Filter
How do you take the cap off of the oil filter housing. I have tried a strap wrench and those special "caps". Both broke! The local oil change place also broke the "claw" tool they were using. Please help! It is a 2000 Intrigue 3.5.

Re: Oil Filter
Sounds like you may have already tried to use one but you need a filter wrench that fits on a 3/8 ratchet.
Theres been a lot of discussion as to which is the right size, but I believe its 74mm with 15 flutes. I ordered this exact one many years ago, and it fits tight enough that it frequently gets stuck on: http://www.autopart.com/tools/toolsmain/tool/T_A258.htm The local parts store probably has something similar, but they may not always be made of top notch materials, some of the ones Ive handled in stores feel very plastic-like. That one is at least made of metal. But a wrench like that is the only thing you'll ever get it off with. Not saying the one I have is the best in the world, but I do know it works.
