OIL FILTER CAP-OFF TOOL ('13-'24, 6.7L)

The oil filter in '13-'24 Ram Cummins 2500/3500/4500/5500 heavy duty trucks is notoriously difficult and messy to remove. You either have to remove the air filter assembly to get access from above or go through the fender well area with the wheel/tire removed (This is optional). Whether you access the filter from the top or from the side, the "shade tree practice" used by owners is to drop the used filter into a thick zip-loc bag to prevent oil spillage. Just be careful, don't snag the bag.

If you want a more substantial "tool" than a zip-lock bag, or the cheap plastic knockoffs from Lisle , CTA and others get the original oil filter cap-off tool. Drop the oil filter down, screw in the filter cap (palm shaped for tight clearances) and you can turn the filter any direction without spilling any oil.

While this tool was designed to remove the oil filter from the '13-'24 Ram Cummins trucks, you can use it on all year trucks to help prevent a mess from spilling the oil out of the filter if it gets away from you.
