Can you tell me if the R18 oil filler wrench with the triangle head is the same size that all the other BMWs use or will I need to purchase a new one just for my r18?
Thanks in advance. I'm looking for the wrench to remove the cap that lets you pure oil in to the engine. Seems to be located on the head of the cylinder etc.

Same one as my R ninet..... same oil filter as well.... just look up oil filters and check.... same as GS 1200s etc.... though I don't know what triangle implies... mines a circle one. Oil filter is fully recessed into the sump with not a lot of room around it. Nothing like grounding and getting stuck on your sump to help with ones undercarrage knowledge.

I had to buy an oil filter wrench for my R18 because the R1200c wrench wouldn't fit. Different filter too.

I think Lutke1000 means the tool used to open the cap to refill with oil.
I bought a generic one to spare marring the onboard one and allowing use of my torque wrench for install. In the ad for this knock-off tool both the R18 and R1250 etc are listed but I haven’t used it myself so can’t confirm yet. I suspect, however, that the tool is used across several models.IMG_4635.jpeg
