Searched Amazon.com for an oil filter for my HHR and found one for a very reasonable price and shipping arrangement as well along with this special socket..

Yes I would duplicate this order again.

The price beat all local prices on this item and all Internet Prices I searched so needless to say I made the purchase along with a few other items needed and related. The free shipping was included with the purchase of these additional items and this review will be cut and pasted to those items as they are reviewed along with one added piece of information on the special socket for the oil cap removal review.

This socket is made in the USA and designed especially for removing the oil filter cap on HHR Chevrolet 2.2 and 2.4 Ecotec 4 Cylinder engines and probably will work on many other applications as the same engine is used in Saturns and Cobalts as well as other General Motors Vehicles too.

It is necessary to clear the Intake Manifold and be able to fit the hex nut on the plastic top of the Oil Filter Housing Cap.

It is 3/8" drive and steel and will last a lifetime as it never touches metal during its use and is worth its weight in Gold when trying to do the job without it. Regular sockets don't fit on the HHR and there is no room for large wrenches which have to be 1 1/4" to fit the cap nut so often pliers are substituted and this can crack the plastic nut or cut it or even break it because pressure has to be applied to the pliers in order for it to grip the cap.

Do yourself a favor if you plan to service your own HHR etc. buy this socket and save time and accidents and possibly even engine damage due to oil leaks from a cracked oil filter housing cap.

This socket and a long 3/8" drive extension and a ratchet will be all you need for the filter removal and you won't be sorry you bought it, I know I am not.

As noted on the socket it is not meant for use with and impact wrench, hand wrench use only which is most commonly what you would be doing anyway in the first place for this procedure.

I have a 2008 Chevy Cobalt and getting to the oil filter was a PITA. With this filter wrench I'm able to access and filter and not have to worry about getting a wrench in the small area and possibly stripping the thread on the filter. VERY recommended for Ecotech/Cobalt owners!

My only complaint about the socket is that it was made in china. Since my other Lisle sockets were made in the USA, I expected this to be American made also.

My first oil change was an environmental disaster. It was like changing the diaper on a new born. Not anymore! With this oil change I eagerly broke the package and replaced the drain plug with the Fumoto F-107N for my 2008 Acadia. The flange on the oil pan was just a bit too intrusive and the last turn did take an extra "umph" that relieved my fear that it was too big to fit. With the Fumoto F-107N in place I tested my reach from the front of the vehicle and can turn the Fumoto F-107N on and off minus the ramps. What fun now to pop the hood. change the filter and with a short tube attached drain the old oil with a twist. No mess! How much is this worth to me? Every penny, and my neighbors smile thinking I've finally mastered mechanics. I'll tell them April first.

An update to my first oil change with the Fumoto F-107N.

A question:"Would it leak?" was answered; no, not a drop! Then, the watch was on reading the percentage of oil life left from the Oil Life Monitor System. A notice from my dealer called for a change 2 months before the message, "change oil" prompted action with the Fumoto F-107N. A scant 2 inches necessitated some spare lumber for clearance to place the empty oil container with a short piece of tubing from the Fumoto F-107N. From the front of my 2008 Acadia the arms reach was perfect and the oil pan hot, hot, hot. I used an old rag to turn the Fumoto F-107N on, and let it drain. With the new filter and oil added I capped the old oil and stored the tube. Total time under my vehicle to operate the Fumoto F-107N -20 seconds (I'm slow) Did I miss messing with the oil plug and catch pan; no. Am I happy with the Fumoto F-107N, you betcha!

I installed one of these valves on my F150 w/ Ecoboost to assist with draining oil, my oil pan won't catch oil from both drain plug and filter a the same time-they are to far apart, with this valve I plan to use a short piece of hose attached to valve to make oil changes a lot neater.

The valve went on easy,I had to buy an adapter for mounting clearance.

The best part is I won't have to haul a wrench under truck while changing oil

A perfect solution to the uncontrolled oil drainage on the Ford F150 with EcoBoost motor. The first oil change (without the Fumoto installed) was an oily mess. This valve makes it much more manageable. The valve appears to be of good quality. I didn't need the adapter and if installed it would cause interference with the transmission to cooler lines.

I would recommend this product to anyone who does their own oil changes.

Honest reviews on Fumoto F-107N Engine Oil Drain Valve

now i can do my oil changes without any wrenches.

im worried about clearance issues a little bit, since the valve and hose nipple sit ~1.5" lower than the drain plug.

i also placed a vacuum cap over the nipple for added dirt protection

I've purchased other Lisle tools in the past and had good success. I didn't read the reviews prior to ordering this tool though. What a piece of crap. It may work on a brand new truck, but it's worthless on a 2007 Explorer with 90K miles. As everyone says, the plastic is just too thin and doesn't have the force to open up the fingers. I ended up purchasing a different set from O'Reillys. Don't waste your time (and money) with this product.

Tool made with thin, cheap plastic that doesn't hold up at all. Ended up removing clips with a pick tool. I don't recommend this tool.

Best Deals for Lisle 39960 Transmission Oil Cooler Line Disconnect

Please see my other reviews, and you can tell I'm not a competitors plant, or somebody that slams a product just because. When I give an item one star it means I really wish I hadn't wasted my time, effort, and money on it. I admit I did something stupid, and ruptured the trans cooler on my 2004 F150. Swap was pretty simple really, pop the lines with the specialty tool, unbolt the two bolts from the bottom of the radiator support, and extract, bolt the new one in, pop the lines in, start the truck, wait for the air bubbles to work their way out and check the ATF level, fill to full mark, call it a day....

No such luck. What should have been a 10 minute job of popping the lines, ended up costing my 3 hours of angry frustration at this miserable excuse of a misdesigned tool. Perhaps it works well for other applications, but this tool in no way, shape, or form is thin enough to get up in the gap to release the quick release fitting on the 2005 F150. The metal scissor version was nowhere the be found and I needed my truck back, so I ended up dragging the truck to a shop that had the metal Lisle tool that nobody local to Houston had....

Long story short, if you are going by the Haines manual, for a 2004-2008 F150, ignore what the book says on this tool, it's plain and simple wrong. Get the metal scissor looking one instead...

Honest reviews on Lisle 39960 Transmission Oil Cooler Line Disconnect

I tried this on 3 different GM vehicles to release the transmission connectors. While the shape and size of the tool is correct, in was unable to work on any of the 3 vehicles, and ended up deforming the plastic end of the tool instead of releasing the clip. In all instances I ended up removing the clips with a pick (I am aware this is not recommended, and advised against, but it worked unlike this tool).

Maybe if you have a vehicle with worn out clips that are not providing proper tension you MIGHT be able to get this to work, but I still wouldn't count on it. And you should be replacing the clips with new ones anyway, so you might as well just use the pick, it is a lot easier and faster.

Lisle LIS39960 Transmission Oil Cooler Line Disconnect for Ford

I spent an hour trying to remove the transmission lines from a 2006 explorer radiator and got nowhere. You are supposed to insert the tool, push in on the transmission line and the "quick disconnect" connector will then release the transmission line and allow it to be withdrawn. But, inserting the tool would not hold the retaining fingers open to allow the snap in transmission line to be withdrawn. No matter what I did with the tool the transmission line remained firmly locked in.

I solved the problem by cutting the handle off of a plastic half gallon milk container. I then slit the handle lengthwise, then I wrapped it 360 degrees around the transmission line, and pushed in firmly. I had the line out in under a minute. Don't waste money on this Lisle 39960 cheap plastic tool. Use a cheap plastic milk container and avoid a lot of frustration.

You wouldn't feed your baby poop so don't give you outboard cheap (poop) oil. Run what the manufacture recommends and your outboard will treat you with reliable performance.

Best Deals for BRP Johnson Evinrude XD 30 2-Cycle Oil

XD30 has been superceeded by the far superior XD50 and XD100

XD50 has a carbon guard additive. That additive reduces long-term carbon accumlation around the ringsets and the piston skirts. It's an especially helpful additive on these V4 and V6 crossflow engines.

XD-30 Conventional oil = Minimal protection

XD-50 Semi Synthetic = much less smell than XD-30 and has carbon guard additive

XD-100 Full Synthetic = even less smell and contains carbon guard, produces minimal smoke and full synthetic extends service life of engine.

Best Red Line 11504 15W-50 Synthetic Oil - 1 Quart Bottle, (Pack of 12) Deals

Customer Ratings:

The reduction in Zddp for most motor oils has proven disastrous to many older vehicles. While this was done to protect newer catalytic converters, it is very bad for camshafts.

Redline is one of the few manufacturers which still maintains high levels of zddp. But they also use the very best baseline synthetic stock available.

I use this in all my older cars up through the mid nineties. The cost of an engine rebuild is far higher than the few bucks extra for oil. However, for the late model daily drivers, I simply use Mobil 1.

I ordered this item because it said it would fit a 2008 Mini, it does not. It is too long as well as too big in girth. I ended up buying a Fram filter to replace it because we had already started changing the oil when we realized the filter was too big. Just did some research on the Mann filter and it appears the HU 711/51 X is the one to buy (according to the Mann website), I just ordered one for when I change my oil again and I hope that one is the right way to go.

Great gauge, accurate and needle moves smoothly without any jerkiness common with non-oil filled gauges. Using with a Gast diaphragm vacuum pump to vacuum pack food items in canning jars with a FoodSaver T03-0023-01 Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer. Note: the photo is not the actual item but a pressure gauge. The vacuum gauge looks similar but 0 Hg is on the right side and 30 Hg (max) is on the left so the pointer moves counterclockwise as the Hg increases.

the gauge arrived and feels of good quality, oil filled and sturdy. I mistakenly needed 1/8" npt, so I ran over to the hardware store and adapted it down to 1/8" from 1/4" npt. My application is for reading nitrogen/oil emulsion pressure in some off road racing shocks and it works well for this. Since it's rated for oils, the mixture of nitrogen and shock oil shouldn't impact it.

I'll keep this short and simple.

I have an aftermarket gauge cluster on my 250r which monitors the oil temperature. Over the past three years or so, I've tried a few different brands of oil out of curiosity. Now I understand there are many factors in oil temperature, but my oil temp measurements were consistently lower than any other brand I tried with this oil installed. I tried to compare it on similar rides on days with similar temperatures and humidity.

Really, the only 'problem' I can come up with is that since the oil is purple and the bottle is purple, it's difficult to read how much oil you've poured via the sight in the bottle. Nit picky, I know.

Honest reviews on Green Earth Technologies 1121 Bar and Chain Green Oil - 32 oz.

Not too long ago, I bought an inexpensive (cheap) 16" chain saw (made in China) at a big hardware store to remove some large bushes with good-sized trunks on my property. The clerk said I would need some chain and sprocket oil in order to operate and he brought out this 32-ounce container of Green Earth Bar and Chain Oil. it looked to me like a lifetime supply and it was expensive for a quart of oil, but he said it was the kind I would need. Well, I managed to cut out the three bushes, and that seemed to be about the life expectancy of the cheap chain saw. In the process, I used about 2 ounces of the bar, chain and sprocket lubricant. I'm happy to say that it worked fine throughout the life of the chainsaw, but I don't think that's a very fair test. I'm certain some of my 2-cycle motorcycle oil would have worked just as well. In any case, I've now got 30 ounces of oil left over and I'm not sure how to use it up. Any suggestions?
