Oil filter cup-style wrench
Help, folks, just did an oil change on the car and had a hard time removing and replacing the filter cover. I've searched the Internet and can't find the proper cup-style wrench for my year and model Volvo. Does anyone know a part number or source for the proper tool?
Thanks in advance!

This is a 2008 S40 2.4i?

Seems for that type of oil filter cap a 36mm socket is best.

Thnks so much for your response. I've ordered the 36 mm socket, and should be receiving it soon.
Just FYI: I use a suction style pump to remove my oil during oil changes. This eliminates the need to crawl under the car, or to use a lift, or to remove that plastic undercarriage cover every time.
I use this on both my cars. I haven't fiddled with an oil drain plug in over 10 years. This pump's tube goes in through the oil check tube, so it's pretty direct, and way more "hands off." Makes oil changes a lot faster.
I forgot where I ordered mine from, but they sell them on eBay and Amazon.
