Lisle 14500 Oil Filter Socket
Lisle says, "The low profile socket fits both the 35mm and 36mm fuel and oil filters. The low profile socket works in confined spaces. 3/8" drive. Not for use with an impact wrench." on their website.
This socket also fits the BMW 36mm oil filter and works well. This item is sturdy but I would agree that I is not impact wrench sturdy.
If your looking for a all purpose socket them this is not for you.
If you are looking for a good socket for oil changes, than this is the right socket, with low cost and coated for easy clean up it is hard to beat.
This is what you need to get the caps off the oil filter and water separator fuel filter on your Ford 6.0 diesel. Should outlast the diesel.
I ordered this for removing the filter housing for my 2008 VW Passat with the 2.0 turbo engine. (I then pop in the Mann filter insert, also available from Amazon.)
Fits perfectly. I have a 1/2" drive so attach a 3/8" adapter to it...no problems. Tip: When unscrewing, keep the wrench on the correct plane, perpendicular to the socket. I have heard of some folks going at this from an angle, tugging hard, and cracking the reusable filter housing.
Well- this does what it should.
No longer do I need to use channel locks to get off the oil filter canister.
Great product, doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
I used to change filter on a Mini that had given other shops trouble - they could not remove the filter cover. I ordered this tool, and at first could not get the thing off. I ended up using a long 1/2 breaker bar and a 3/8 adapter. The 3/8 adapter broke! I did get the thing off by using a 3/8 breaker bar in this socket and a pipe on the end of the bar to add leverage, but for something this big a 1/2" drive hole would make sense. I realize its not supposed to torqued like that, some maroon did that. Oil drain plug also too tight...figures. For most normal applications, this should work fine.
