[Update: March 2023] Mahle have changed their filter design for KC80 and OC298 filters. These spanners have been updated and will not fit earlier Mahle filters which are slightly larger.
These handy filter spanners fit Mahle Land Rover Td5 oil filters and are built to last! Designed to fit perfectly around the Td5 oil filters with the optimal handle length taking into account how tight some oil filters get and how much room there is to work. Even the tightest filters can be removed in minutes.
Additionally this filter spanner also fits Td5 Mahle fuel filters. The fuel filters on Td5 vehicles are very exposed to the elements and can be difficult to remove. This spanner makes light work of removing even the most stubborn fuel filters.
A 1/2″ drive ratchet or bar can be attached to the handle if required for the most stubborn of filters. The 1/2″ square hole can also be used to hang the spanner in your garage or workshop so it’s always at hand.
Made from high quality 6mm carbon steel and then Nitrotec treated to provide wear and corrosion resistance they are designed to provide many years of service. Unlike cheap zinc plating Nitrotec is not a coating and will not come off over time. It also adds hardening to the tool to prevent deformation over extended periods of use. They are not designed to be pretty, we haven’t plastered our name all over them and the surface treatment is functional.
- 6mm high quality steel

Care
Minimal maintenance is required (even our bare steel prototypes have not rusted) however an occasional wipe with oil will help just the same as you would do with any hand tools. Tools should be stored in a clean and dry environment. If the tool is subjected to excessive water then it can be gently cleaned, dried and re-oiled.
Warranty
These Td5 oil filter spanners have been designed to be suitable for daily professional use (but not abuse). We provide a 2 year warranty on all our in-house manufactured tools. If you have any issues with your product then please contact us.
