Hello All-

I just off the phone from Pfeiffer USA, and the part #s on these have been superseded.  I don't know if this is the case everywhere.

Oil Change Tool - PV M40 061 
Is now PV M40 569 $7 (described as "like a large washer")

Oil Change Tool - N 5709 103
Is now PV M40 550 $315

Cheers,

William
