: Where to find Suzuki oil filter wrench? DieselK8 09-28-2009, 09:26 PM I am looking for a Suzuki Oil filter wrench. Suzuki part number 09915-40610. My local dealer looked at me like I was from Mars when I said i wanted to get one of these. They said just to use a regular oil filter wrench. I couldnt find anyone online who sold these. Anyone got an idea? nj01_6 09-28-2009, 11:25 PM Here (http://www.oneidasuzuki.com/store/parts-accessories/oem-oil-filter-or-wrench.html) Ministroker215 10-03-2009, 04:23 PM they really only need to be hand tight anyway blk out 10-03-2009, 07:44 PM I got mine from autozone took my old oil filter in and matched it up with one of theirs. breakz 10-03-2009, 07:59 PM they really only need to be hand tight anyway :ohmy :banghead :scratch :wtf :nono :nono :nono :nono :nono :nono :nono :nono :nono I always use K&N for replacement oil filters, they come with a nut attachment :lmao for easy tightening and undoing... not to mention the fact that they're more effective than OEM filters, and just as cheap! doc750 10-03-2009, 09:00 PM he's right, they only need to be hand tightened Huggins23 10-14-2009, 09:57 PM Service Manual states that the oil filter should be hand tighten tell the seal meets the metal then two complete turns past that! AndrewM 10-15-2009, 12:46 AM I wouldn't feel safe at all knowing my oil filter was only on there hand-tight. They've GOT to have oil filter wrenches/sockets whatever they wanna call them... for Suzukis they're all pretty much the same Squigs 10-15-2009, 05:15 PM filters on bikes only need to be hand tight..obviously a good hand tighten though..give it the extra power on ur last turn unless your a weak, u dont need a wrench bikes arent like cars, cant hand tighten the oil filter on a car Bagherra 10-24-2009, 09:44 AM you cannot tighten the oil filter on yur car with yur hand???? I have a Navigator and a Camry and have no problems using my hand to tighten 'em.... MAD_ARAB 10-24-2009, 10:09 AM Hand tight plus 1/4 to 1/2 a turn or it can come off. And a pair of filterpliers works better.:cheers chuckieg123 10-24-2009, 12:09 PM Go buy one of these, it is a million times better....

And a pair of filterpliers works better.:cheers Aftermarket filters are Hand Tight which is 1/2 to 1/2 Past Contact, not past hand tight. OEM Filters are often 2-2.5 turns past contact. This is due to the different O-Ring style. The Best isn't cheap Cheap isn't The Best Bob RichiB 05-01-2010, 11:24 PM Sorry to dig this up, but just to clarify in case anyone was relying on this for tightening up the filter, here's some info from the 08 gsxr600 service manual. "Install the new oil filter. Turn it by hand until you feel that the oil filter o-ring contacts the oil filter mounting surface. Then, tighten the oil filter two full turns (or to the specified torque) using the special tool" Bolding added by me for emphasis. followed by "Never tighten the oil filter by hand only" & that was bolded by Suzuki not me. The specified torque is 20nm or 14.5 lb-ft btw. Maybe the oil filter is able to be torqued up by hand to 20nm, but I don't want to guess - there's a specified torque for a reason. & I lockwire that sucker on as well :chucks | ||
