Unhappy 03 Boxster oil filter wrench

Anybody knows an online or a physical place in Canada where I can buy an oil filter wrench (cup)? Tried many autoparts, Walmart, Canadian Tire places in Quebec city area, nothing! Specs. are 74mm & 14 flute.

Thanks for your help!

It's difficult to find an aftermarket one and most of the plastic one are worthless, If you find an aftermarket one make sure it's metal. I bought mine from the dealer ....

You don't want to do that on a 986/996 since it's a filter element (that's the replaceable filter) inside a plastic holder (which you reuse). I think he's looking for the very large socket-type tool that's slips onto that plastic case to unscrew it.

How about using one of those ruber belt wrenches they sell at CT, the BMW guys use em but you need to keep oil way from the belt.
