A simple, stout cap wrench that actually fits the filters you see on a lot of Japanese bikes. The BikeMaster 65 mm cap-style oil filter wrench slips over 14-flute filters and lets you use a standard 3/8" drive ratchet to remove or install the canister without gouging the filter body.
Key Benefit
Fast, confident filter changes with the right fit. The 65 mm cap hugs the flutes so you don’t crush the filter or slip off when you’re working in a tight spot. Use a regular 3/8" drive and you’re done — no jury-rigging with strap wrenches or channel locks.

Fitment Clarity
This is a 65 mm, 14-flute cap wrench — it fits filters that have that outside diameter and flute pattern. It’s not a universal expanding tool; it’s a sized cap that needs the filter to match the 65 mm/14-flute profile. Check the outside diameter and flute count on your filter before buying. If your bike’s OEM filter uses the 65 mm, 14-flute style you’ll have a direct fit.
Install Insight
Align the cap so that it slips over the filter with flutes seated into the tool. The cap can be attached with a 3/8” ratchet or socket and turned. This cap protects the filter body and provides an even contact around the flutes, thus avoiding crushing or deforming of the canister. Often finds its way into pulling position at tighter engine bays where a strap wrench or pliers would have bound.
Who This Is For
DIY riders who change their own oil and want the right tool for OEM-style cartridge filters.
Home mechanics who prefer a cap wrench over strap or adjustable tools.
Shops that work on Japanese makes where 65 mm, 14-flute filters are common.
FAQs
Will this fit my bike? If your filter measures about 65 mm across and has 14 flutes, yes. Check the filter OD and flute profile first. What drive do I need? A standard 3/8" ratchet or breaker bar fits the cap. Can I use it on canister or spin-on filters? This cap is for canister/cartridge housings with the 65 mm, 14-flute pattern. It’s not an adjustable strap for irregular shapes. Will it damage the filter? No — the cap distributes torque around the flutes so you don’t crush the canister when you remove or install it. What part number should I look for? Look for BikeMaster P/N 151752 (often shown as model 12-0565 on some retailer pages). Is this the right tool for Honda/Kawasaki models? Many Honda and Kawasaki models that use the 65 mm, 14-flute filter accept this cap — vendors commonly list Honda OE 15410-MM5-013 and Kawasaki OE 16097-1061 as cross references. Still verify your filter size before purchase.
