Motivx Tools 86.6mm 16-Flute CNC Aluminum Oil Filter Wrench — Red/Gray, BMW & Volvo Fit

The Motivx Tools MX2326-US is a precision 86.6mm, 16-flute CNC-machined aluminum oil filter wrench designed to remove and install cartridge-style oil filter caps on many BMW and Volvo engines.

Designed for technicians and DIYers who work on European engines, this wrench targets smooth-top cartridge filter caps (86.6mm) with a 16-flute profile for secure engagement. Machined in the USA from aerospace-grade aluminum alloys, the MX2326-US combines light weight with high strength and clear color coding so you can spot it quickly in a busy toolbox or garage.

Which engines and filter caps will this wrench fit?

This tool fits most BMW and Volvo engines that use an 86.6mm cartridge-style oil filter cap with a smooth top. It is not compatible with filter caps that have a 6-point nut integrated on top, and it's not recommended for certain newer Volvos.

• Size: 86.6mm diameter, 16 flute profile for secure engagement
• Compatible brands: Commonly used on many BMW and Volvo cartridge filter caps
• Not compatible: Caps with a 6-point nut on top
• Not recommended: 2014 and newer Volvo 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engines

How is the wrench built and what materials are used?

The MX2326-US is CNC machined from solid aluminum using two different alloys where strength and visibility matter. The body uses 6061-T6 aluminum for a lightweight, durable structure, while the drive hub is 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum to withstand torque and repeated use.

• Main body: 6061-T6 anodized grey for corrosion resistance
• Drive hub: 7075-T6 anodized red for extra strength and quick identification
• Precision machining: 16 flutes ensure consistent, non-slip engagement
• Proudly made in the USA with a manufacturer lifetime warranty

How do I use the wrench and what tools does it accept?

Using the MX2326-US is straightforward: seat the fluted end onto the smooth top of the 86.6mm filter cap and apply torque through the drive interface. The tool accepts common drive tools and can be used in tight engine bays with extensions.

• Drive options: 3/8" drive ratchet or extension
• Alternate drive: 24mm socket compatible with the drive hub
• Operation: Align flutes, push down slightly, and rotate to loosen or tighten
• Benefits: Red anodized hub gives visual contrast for quick placement

What maintenance and care does this wrench require?

Low maintenance is required thanks to anodized aluminum surfaces that resist corrosion and wear. Keep the tool clean of oil and debris, and inspect the flutes and drive hub periodically for any signs of damage before use.

• Cleaning: Wipe with a cloth after use; avoid harsh chemicals that remove anodizing
• Storage: Store in a dry toolbox to prevent corrosion and preserve finish
• Inspection: Check flutes and drive hub for wear before high-torque use
• Warranty: Manufacturer lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship

Who is this for: The Motivx Tools MX2326-US is ideal for professional mechanics, independent shops, and home enthusiasts who service BMW and Volvo vehicles that use 86.6mm cartridge-style oil filter caps. If you need a durable, lightweight, USA-made wrench with precision flutes and multiple drive options, this tool is built for repeated shop use; avoid it if your vehicle uses a 6-point nut-style cap or if you have a 2014+ Volvo 2.0L turbo where compatibility is not recommended.
