Default 3357 not needed for fuel filter, just tranny drain
Make sure to check on your car too, as some trannies just have a regular 7mm hex in there.

Default Much easier to just cut the plastic band that holds the filter in.
It will drop down quite easily, then you just zip tie the new one back in it's home when you're done. Much easier for the next time too.

Default Yeah, dare I say this...
...but a Torx will work in this case. Mine wasn't very tight <b>at all</b> (it is threaded into plastic IIRC)....thus no chance of stripping the head using the wrong tool :-)
