which Oil filter wrench to use

[Pressed]

This has probably been covered, nonetheless I'm gonna ask. Are all Oil Filter Wrenches equal ? I see some available at Partsgeek, Pelican, Suncoast and even Walmart, the latter of which is considerably cheaper than most. Is it a 74mm, 74.2mm or 74.4mm. I have seen each on the DIY's for this procedure and is it 14 fluted or 15 fluted. Does it make a difference ?

Only if you want to get the oil filter off.  While you did not say which year or model (always a good idea as they are not all the same) I'd suggest trying board sponsor Sunset Porsche, who retails the item for around $26.

This the one I use and will work on most all Porsches from 1997 on.
