Hi all. Is 76mm the right size for the oil filter on my 1200 sport. It seems like it is just a tad small. It is described as "oil filter removal tool moto guzzi 1200 sport 4v 2006-2008 76x14" will probably dress the paint off to see if that makes any difference.

I'm sure mine is that size. Unfortunately the filter fitted was 8 flute, not 14. Still, it helped put the new one on.

I see the problem now brian. The filter has 8 equally spaced flats whereas the removal tool has 14 flats so wont fit anyhow I try it. The filter is an oem moto guzzi filter. Makes me wonder if aftermarket filters e,g hi-flo have 14 flats.

Lazer tools make 2 types of 76mm removal tools 8 and 14 flute, not overly expensive from a local car accessory shop.
depending on how tight the filter is, you my need to revert to 2 centre punches and long bar to remove filter, can be a tad messy. The oil filter removal tool can slip around filter if very tight.

I did try gluing bits of an old feeler gauge inside of the removal tool to reduce its size, but again it just resized the oil filter. centre punches won......

Depending on which filter you have the Fiat oil filter tool works fine way less money they ARE standard car filters and the ones for the cars are way cheaper

UFI filter seem to be best for the guzzi range.
