I tried two big name auto parts stores to get the correct oil filter wrench/tool to remove my 3.5L FL-500-S Motorcraft oil filter and both came up short. One of the tools they had in stock had 14 or 15 flutes that fit, but I wasn't convinced that it wouldn't slip. So after a quick internet search I did find a Lisle 61650 76mm end cap Filter Wrench. This tool has 30 flutes and fits the FL-500-S perfectly. I purchased it from K-MansParts.com who had it in stock and I received it in AZ in about 4 days. I didn't like having to pay for the shipping, but I already wasted enough gas driving around trying to find one. The other thing that is nice about it is that the 3/8" sq ratchet insert is plenty deep to get an extension or any 3/8" sq tool without bottoming out against the filter.
