Socket Size of oil filter

[Constantinos]

Hi everyone.
Just a quick one today.
Does anyone know what size socket is needed for the oil filter?
Many thanks.

Hi Dave
To be honest, I’m not too sure.
It’s the nut on top of the oil filter housing which when unscrewed, you can remove the oil filter.
It also has the torque spec written on it.
I’m asking in the forum because a video from auto doc says 36mm socket but another source says 34mm
I just need to order a socket if so because my socket set only goes to 32mm

It's 36mm, but solid hand tight on the outside of the filter is pretty much spot on 15 Nm and easier on the plastic, so I never use the socket.

It is 36mm on the D5 engine on my own XC90 if that helps...
