Recently I searched for how to identify my oil filter. One of the posts that I read said that either AC or Fram had a 5/8 hex head on the top , and the other had a 7/8 inch. Today I remembered to measure mine, and it took a 7/8 wrench. But, now I can't find the post that told which was which. I'm sorry to be so dis organized, but can one of you help me with this.

For what it's worth, I have an AC S-2 filter canister and the bolt measures 5/8 across the flats.
Here's a pic.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Mike,
Read the attached. It is the most useful article I have ever seen on oil filters.

https://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/engines/oil%20filters/index.html

Good luck.

Fram had the 7/8 in. hex for the lid. Some of them had a big wing bolt.
