If you had your IMS Solution installed professionally, you likely do not have the spanner tool used to install the spin on oil filter adapter included with the IMS Solution. If your oil filter has been over-tightened and you've accidently removed your spin on filter adapter while trying to replace your oil filter, you'll need this tool to be able to re-torque the adapter. We do recommend replacing the outer o-ring on the adapter if this occurs. Learn More
