Abstract: A tool for removing an oil filter has a rectangular base plate with a square ratchet receiving hole in the center of the base plate. A first pair of tangs extend downwardly from the left and right sides of the base plate at the middle thereof. A second pair of tangs extend upwardly from the front and rear sides of the base plate at the middle thereof. The tangs are spaced apart sufficiently to enter into different sized hole arrays of oil filter plates to help remove the plates if they are stuck in an engine. The tangs have sharpened outer ends to allow the tool to be driven into the oil filter body to help remove the complete filter.
