Product Information
Full details
This Lisle 5-Piece Low Profile Oil and Fuel Filter Canister Socket Set is designed for automotive technicians and DIY mechanics who need efficient access to oil and fuel filters in tight engine compartments. Its primary benefit is the low-profile design combined with precise socket sizes, enabling secure and quick filter removal and installation. A potential caveat is that the set includes specific sizes, so compatibility with all filter types should be verified before purchase. The set includes five 6-point sockets in essential sizes (24mm, 27mm, 29mm, 32mm, and 35/36mm) with a 3/8" drive, all constructed from durable, chrome-plated steel and organized in a convenient case.

Are these sockets suitable for all types of oil filters?
No, these sockets are designed exclusively for canister-style oil and fuel filters. They are not compatible with standard spin-on oil filters.
What is the drive size for these sockets?
All sockets in this set feature a standard 3/8" drive size, compatible with most common ratchets and extensions.

How should I clean and store the socket set?
Clean the sockets with a cloth to remove oil and debris after each use. Store them in the included case to keep them organized and protected.
Can I use these sockets with an impact wrench?
These sockets are designed for use with standard manual ratchets and breaker bars. Use with impact wrenches is not recommended as it may damage the sockets or the filter canister.

The set includes five low-profile, 6-point sockets in the following sizes: 24mm, 27mm, 29mm, 32mm, and 35/36mm.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit the filter canister.
Verify that you are using the correct socket size for your specific filter. Check the filter manufacturer's specifications or consult vehicle repair data. If no provided size fits, the filter may be non-standard or a different socket size may be required.
Socket slips on the filter canister.
Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the canister. Clean any excess oil or debris from the filter canister and the inside of the socket. Use a 3/8" drive breaker bar for increased torque control if needed.
Socket is difficult to access due to tight space.
Utilize a 3/8" drive extension or a universal joint adapter with your ratchet to gain better access. Some filter locations may require specialized tools beyond this set.
Filter canister corners are rounding.
Apply steady, even pressure. If rounding persists, attempt to use a slightly larger socket if it still grips, or consider a filter wrench designed for damaged filters. Ensure the 6-point socket is fully engaged.
