46mm 12-Point Oil Filter Spanner, 390mm Length – VAG Group Applications

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built oil filter spanner engineered specifically for VAG group vehicles (Volkswagen, Audi, and related manufacturers). The 12-point cup design ensures positive engagement with 46mm hex-style filter caps, eliminating slip and rounding that can damage expensive filter housings. The 390mm overall length provides mechanical advantage for secure removal and installation without excessive force.
