I just bought a metal oil filter wrench for '00 E430 (W210). The model is Lisle 54760 76 mm 14 flutes from Tooldiscounter.com for $3.33 + shipping. I also bought the Mityvac 7201 from the same site for $53.08. The total ground shipping cost for both items to Southern California is $14.16.

I'd tried the oil filter wrench, it works as expected.
