Oil filter housing cap.

[Kev-P]

Hi All,

 

Would anyone know what size socket I need for the oil filter housing cap?

That would depend on which engine is fitted, which you have not mentioned.

Hi either 27mm or 32mm unless they changed the sizes again, the correct size is stamped on the top of the housing.

Usually 32mm and only 25Nm to torque (with a smear of fresh oil on the new ‘o’ ring). Details of the torque value will be on the filter housing.
