How do I remove the oil filter on my X type Jaguar diesel
is there a special spanner-or do you undo it by hand
Hi, the oil filter is a paper element item in a plastic housing, under the car on the front RHS of the engine. You need a end cap filter wrench to undo it. I've tried a set i borrowed and couldn't find one to fit. I had to make a tool in the end by taking a bolt with a head to match the hex shaped piece at the bottom of the housing and wleded bits of flat steel to it. You could use a correctly sized socket (24-26mm?) but be careful not to break it!! Also make sure you locate the O-ring for the filter correctly.
Regards,
Dave

I have a strap type oil filter tool
will that do?
Is the filter a trow away cartridge or a paper element
and do you undo the big nut at the bottom
