Anyone know what I need for a Microgard Select MSL51036 ?

Also is there a chart to be had ?

All adjustable so you can use it for a variety of oil filter sizes and other purposes.

Thank you but it has to be a socket type of wrench , you would think they would publish the MM and flute.

If it's the same as Wix it's a 74/15 according to @Timmastertech

Thanks, that's what im using now and it's definitely not it. I bought a 23 piece kit, one of them should work..

Microguard select isnt wix. One of the gripes I have with a lot of the offshore filters like prime guard and premium guard is filter wrenches dont fit the best

I'm running this filter to replace the Wix which is now junk. The automotive community seems to like this filter. It seems good to me but what do I know.

I was happy with Wix until they changed it to some other brand, I forgot which.

Why not the first one? It will fit very similar to a socket.

I second this. I pulled a filter off our 2002 crv that would budge after screwdriver impalement using this filter wrench. Cant imagine a better bargain for 11 bucks.

14 flute. Either 74 or 75mm. Will know more once home

I bought one of those years ago. Great tool. I highly recommend.

74/14 is a dead nuts fit. Per my notes same as a MC FL910S

I really like filter cups but fully acknowledge the shortcomings such as lack of industry standards, poor tolerances and you gotta have a slew of them. Even with this I don't always have what I need:

Also I only run one-piece units and refuse to use the stamped steel with a spot-welded sq drive

Why isn't there 1 oil filter size? Or maybe 2?

I nominate you for chairman of DOOFSE ‐ Dept of Oil Filter Sizing Efficiency.

We may need some focus groups to work on the name.....
