Buff Hamster

Actually Adamsy, T&E tools do in-fact make the cap-style oil filter wrench suitable for the Aurion for about $25 or so.

On a side note, I have NEVER used one of those and have change the oil on my Aurion many times, hehehe.

Daryl any methods to remove the filter without the wrench? I was thinking of resorting to a jack hammer but thought i would probably break the car first with it.

I take no responsibility if you wreck it, but I use a pair of oil filter pliers that I picked up for $5. I slid some tubing (like aquarium pipe) over the jaws of it (not in the case of the attached image) so it doesn't scratch the filter housing and you grip it on the upper section where the 'tabs' are. The raised bit of the jaw sits behind the tabs perfectly to enable you to twist it with ease.
