I have a cheap universal strap-type oil filter wrench that I bought 20 years ago, and it has worked just great on my S2000 filter (as well as all my other Honda filters over the years).

It looks like nobody understood the diameter = 2x radius post.
By me.

I had no luck with the cap end wrenches. I had several small ones from other cars and I had to go for one of the claw design (giant pliers). The flats and diameter varied significantly from my factory and the gold I used in a pinch (and the store frams for comparison). This claw wrench is really the only way to take off the filters if they are put on right (tight to spec).

Strange -- the Honda cap end tool and torque wrench are what I use each time. I don't have the stock airbox in the way though.
