Removing the oil filter from my 2015 Acura MDX was a real pain in the rear for my first oil change. My current filter wrench will not fit over the end, such that the ratchet will go in as well. The end of the oil filter is too close to the cross member.
So my main question is what filter wrench are people using for their Acura MDX's? I imagine it is probably a similar problem with other models with the J35 engine (Pilot, Odyssey, etc.)? I've done some research, but it is a little difficult figuring out what oil filter wrench will fit best (I don't like universal strap wrenches).
I typically use Mobil 1 or Fram Ultra oil filters, and not Honda/Acura OEM filters, which I believe are a little different in size from each other. I believe Acura sells a "low profile" filter wrench that will work on the OEM filters.
