Do you think a strap wrench would work on removing the oil filter cap on a 2003 saturn vue?

Question

I heard that it calls for a 32mm socket but I have also heard of people using a strap wrench to remove the plastic nut on top of the housing.

Answer 1

Should work fine.

Answer 2

No. It may crush or crack.

Answer 3

Until i invested in a socket set for those caps i used a large adjustable wrench at work...the strap wrench may do the job but i have never tried that...Good Luck
