Re: Filter wrench size
 

To my knowledge, the only way you can currently get a cap wrench to fit is
by buying Hyundai's special tool.

I bought my wrench at Sears. I'm sure it was much less than $28. Looks
identical to the Snap-On except that it says "Craftsman."

Hi again Matt,
I was just browsing through the Princess Auto online catalog again and I came across
the 3-fingered oil filter wrench for $9.99 (Canadian). It is part number 8104028 in
their On Sale Now section of their online catalog.

Cheers,
Lawrence

I had Easter dinner at a relative's house which isn't far from an
Autozone and they were open today. They had one of the 3-finger
wrenches for $7 so I picked one up. Another 5,000 miles on the Sonata
and I'll get the change to try it out!
