I checked with phil here on a rate for this part (oil filter cap wrench for a 1994 c280) and also with my local dealer and prices are a little higher than i thought. I bought one from an auto house but it was plastic and it broke when I twisted the socket wrench. does anyone know where to get a good solid (metal) one a bit more reasonable. threads I've searched here look like 5-10 dollars but no one lists where they get them.

thanks in advance...

Second tool down on the list will work fine, $9.95

Or I just read that a Fram oil filter wrench "B" from your local big-box parts store will work too. This may be a the plastic breakable type you mentioned though.

i tried the "b" from one of the "box" auto stores and it just seemed to slip on the filter cap as the corners on a rounded nut???

OK, I just read that the B wrench works in a BMW cycle article. The wrench I've always used, which worked great, was for a BMW "K" bike.
