Ecotec oil filter socket?
Tuesday, August 01, 2006 12:51 PM
Where can I find a 1-1/4" socket to fit the cap for the oil filter? I started my tech job and have done 2 ecotecs in one day, with a wrench and I own an eco so thats all the more reason.

I know a regular socket(what I use at home) can fit it but I would prefer to just get the tool. Thanks!

Snap on and Matco sell a socket for the ecotec oil filters. It is 3/8 drive too.

1 1/4 at Sears think it was $9 for the socket.

Ditto on Sears/Craftsman. 1-1/4 may work, but 32 mm is the correct socket.

Yea, i know a 32 mm will work, thats what I have at home but I'd like something that doesnt have the hassle of the the regular socket

Try looking at a store that sells tools, it will be in the same section that sells sockets and ratchets.
