The oil filter on my 2013 550 Sportsman is a pain to get a hand on. Anyone have a place I can buy a filter wrench that fits this little filter? Thanks

The stock Subaru filter would have been too big for this wrench but this is wrench tool I bought that will work on the filter you buy as a replacement from the dealer.

If you have stock filter on there it might not work. If you have already changed it once this should do the trick.

Here was my initial experience.

The initial socket it my posting was something I bought at NAPA..not the one I got off of eBay to change future filters.

Take your new oil filter to a parts store and match up a socket that fits it. Or you can buy a Polaris filter wrench through a dealer.

Can't get a strap wrench on the XP filters. They are tucked up through the belly pan. Match it up at the auto parts store or walmart.

I just bought a $2.99 plastic unit that fits on any standard socket wrench.. You can find'em in the auto parts section of any big box store.. I shaved about a milimeter off the outside edge with a grinder and it fits perfectly.. $2.99and about 45 seconds..

I have a metal ens cap wrench from JD tools, should fit up on the XP filter.


Thanks,

I use the metal cap. On my 700 I ONLY use it to break it loose because with it on it's too long to get filter out. But that's minor really. Once you know.

I bought mine on eBay. Nothing at Autozone fit. The dealer should have it too.

Thanks

Thanks for the help guys. I bought a wrench from Auto Zone F size and it fits good. What I read was right on the money, the F is to small for the origanal filter but fits the replacment nice. Thnaks

I got one from the dealer the same day I took dele very of the 550.
Was a bit snug on the factory filter, fits great on dealer filters.

Wow,....that's good and bad.
Good that they are trying to save you money, bad due to the fact that they do not have what you need. My dealer and Wally World aren't next to each other. Gas and time, are valuable to me.

 

[rockyw]

I agree, poor customer service. I think it's because they are not going to help anyone to change their own oil. My dealer said "the guys in the back have one if you bring your quad in" That's good, I would hope so. They should have what their customers want.

 

[faawrenchbndr]

At my dealer the guys in the back are also the guys in the front.

The oil plug on my 2009 550 XP needs a allan wrench to loosen. Do they make an allan wrench that fits on a socket wrench?
