Went to change my oil and the threads are not right - they are damaged from the factory and it would not screw into the filter. Good idea, should work fine if the quality were there. I want to thank Genos for having such a well built product on the site. I hated changing my oil until I discovered this product. I was surprised at how rugged this tool was once I opened it up. Quality craftsmanship is rare these days, and this tool is quality.
Very simple to use, and keeps the mess off my shop floor. I look forward to more products from Genos. They are awesome tools I bought them for other guys and they love them to no mess oil change. I bought the product a month ago. Used it for the first time in my personal vehicle an it performed with out any issues. Great product an would recommend to any other Cummins owner. No need to remove air filter. Awesome tool. Sure prevents oil leak mess.
Excellent services from Gino's. Performs nicely. Be sure not to tighten on to the filter. Just a snug fit will do. You can only use one hand to remove and replace it. For the DIY oil change in the newer Ram diesels, this is a must! Works awesome. This is awesome. Every Cummins Ram should come with one of these from the factory, otherwise you make such a dang mess changing your oil.
You hear that FCA contract Geno's for oil filter caps. Received order glad I also ordered water sensor wrench will be using them again. I haven not used this yet, but it looks well made and should help avoid oil spills.
This tool help me remove the oil filter with little to no mess at all. Made my oil changes more faster, cleaner, but less time consuming. I recently saw this tool on the website and knew I wanted this for my '17 Ram.
As you know, the oil filter comes through the passenger side wheel well and this tool is invaluable for being able to keep the used oil from spilling out of the filter as you lay it on its side for removal.
Same process reversed if you pre-fill your new oil filter before install. I highly recommend this to make an oil change much easier and less messy. It works great, literally don't spill a drop of oil now, save LOTS of clean up time.
Thanks Geno's! The oil filter cap for the cummins works as I hoped it would. Best solution for the problem. Glad I bought it.
I do not want to force it and screw up the threads! I checked the filter and the tool with a thread gauge, both appear to be 16 threads per inch. I am going to return the new filter and try another one just to rule out a factory defect. The threads in the filter look fine but as soon as the tool begins to thread "straight" it stops!
I removed the coating from the threads of the tool with a wire wheel? I Watched the video on how the tool works Owner Response: Dennis, Generally the first time the tool is used it has resistance under the first use. We have tested quite a few of them and have not run in to any issues since the tool is aluminum while the threads of the filter are steel. If you ever have an issue you can always give us a call.
The cap-off tool for the oil filter is a game changer when it comes to servicing the Cummins! Made the oil change easier and cleaner! This tool worked exactly as advertised. I had seen several you tube videos showing how potentially messy changing the oil on a Cummins engine could be, and that this tool would prevent the mess. Worked flawlessly, so glad I decided to purchase it before the first oil change, and was able to prevent any oil from spilling on the truck.
Excellent product. Wouldnt even try to change the oil filter on my 6. No mess at all with it, works as advertised. Highly recommended! I used and enjoyed the oil filter cover when changing oil on our dodge Cummins. Just the right tool!!!!! I just used the cap-off tool for the first time and it worked great. Works a lot better than the zip lock bag trick. If you like to keep the under side of your truck clean like I do, this tool is for you.
It won't spill a drop! Then add clean oil to your new filter, screw this tool on after wiping it clean go back into that tight space, remove the cap and install.
Makes life easy. Works perfectly to keep any oil from spilling while removing and reinstalling the filter from my Ram truck. Purchased the tool and changed the oil for the 1st time. I can't imagine doing the change without it.
Worked perfect for a very difficult oil change. A little spendy If you do your own oil changes this is a required tool. Used it for the first time the other day it worked perfectly, didn't spill a drop of oil.
Works as advertised. Cramped access to oil filter makes it difficult to use. Maybe the more I use it, the better it will meet expectations. The cap off tool is a must if you plan on changing the filter through the wheel well. Only complaint I have is the cap arrived with slightly damaged threads and it would not thread onto the filter. I fixed this and now it works great. Pricey, but wouldnt want to tilt the filter out without it. And, glad to make the one time purchase over relying on a thin ziplok bag to keep spills to a minimum.
Sometimes I go against myself to purchase "luxury" things to assist me in anything. I came across this and having made a big mess on the first oil change, I thought, what the heck, why not. Definitely glad i purchased this. Unscrewed the filter, lower it down, keeping it level of course. I screwed the cap on with my hands nice and snug as if installing the filter.

Flexible boot 12 is then moved, with deformation if necessary, either upwardly or downwardly as required, so that its upper portion surrounds the filter canister and is close to the external surface of the engine structure carrying the canister to collect as much spillage as possible.
In this condition the oil filter wrench is rotated appropriately to unscrew the filter canister from its mounting on engine block 34, normally in a counterclockwise direction. This rotation may be accomplished manually by grasping the outer surface of oil reservoir 11 or by using various torque generating tools applied to either the exterior surface or interior chamber of nut 21 or by a combination of both methods.
As the filter is removed from the engine block, even though oil- has been previously removed from the lubrication system, a certain amount of oil will be retained both in the engine structure and in the filter.
Some of this oil will tend to spill downwardly upon removal of the filter generally substantially vertically on or about the periphery of the filter. As this occurs, the oil will drip into the upper portion of flexible boot 12 and move downwardly through collection channel 24, about the oil filter and ultimately collect in chamber 20 defined by the oil reservoir.
After the filter is removed from an engine, it may be manually removed from the wrenching tool and collected oil may be removed from the tool by gravity by turning it upside down over some disposal area. It should be noted that in using my filter wrench with its annular insert upon a cylindrical oil canister, the wrench will have to be maintained with sufficient force against the bottom of the canister to create enough friction to allow rotation of the canister upon rotation of the wrench.
If such force cannot be attained, my wrench may also be used in combination with an ordinary band-type oil filter wrench, applied to the canister above the upper portion of flexible boot, to at least start the canister unscrewing process and yet provide the benefits of oil spill collection.
The foregoing description of my invention is necessarily of a detailed nature so that a specific embodiment of it might be set forth as required, but it is to be understood that various modifications of detail, rearrangement and multiplication of parts might be resorted to without departing from its spirit, essence or scope.

The tool provides a cylindrical body, defining an upwardly opening upper wrenching chamber to irrotatably fit over the lower portion of an oil filter to be removed and an oil reservoir therebelow which provides means for manual turning and for attachment of other tools to aid torquing. The inside surface of the wrenching chamber is configured to fit over and irrotatably engage the lower part of particularly configured filters and allows oil to flow toward the lower oil reservoir.
A peripherally defined flexible boot extends upwardly and outwardly from the open upper end of the wrenching chamber to catch oil leakage and channel the oil into the oil reservoir.
