    Going by pix.. I have the old style. Works great for me. That said, proper orientation of the tool to filter is a must. Without asking how I know. The first time I used it, I didn’t align the oil filter tool to the tabs correctly. I had the single side on the 3 tabs and visa versa. Promptly came off when trying to turn it and said what the hell. Re looked, put it on and no issues since. Error on my part, yes. Learned quickly, even bigger yes.

    I plan on using one of my longer 1/2'' ratchet dives with a 15/16'' socket on the motivx wrench to crack that sucker loose. Should be cake.

    I use an inch an 16th box end wrench. Works great for leverage with the added length over a ratchet.
