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!

I have a 2010 Chev Equinox 2.4L 4 Cyl. Changing the oil filter can be difficult. However by using this socket the job is easily done and without a mess. A great tool.

This fits perfectly for changing the oil filter in my 2010 Chevy Malibu. It's just a socket so I do not expect much more from it than that.

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.

I use this in my old Mercury outboard motor. Nice to know I'm doing less harm to the environment and waters using this. I don't know what else to say except try their other products too, they all work well. I use their 5W30 in my car (G Oil) with no issues. Keep making products like this!!!

This oil works beautifully in my 90hp Evinrude 2 stroke and it has the added bonus of being able to tell the anti 2-stroke crowd to go pound tar!

I'm all about doing what we can to protect and preserve our environment, especially our inbound freshwater lakes and estuaries. It's nice to have a product that takes the sting out of burning a conventional petroleum based oil. Would be a 5 star review if the price were a bit more competitive.

I've been using this in my Yamaha-40ELG motor for the last two seasons and the engine runs strong. The engine is pushing a 13 foot Boston Whaler. I would definitely recommend this oil to any user.

Reviews of Lucas Oil 10002 Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer - 1 Gallon (Case of 4)

I use this at 20% in the engine oil of my class-8 truck with a Cummins. 2 gallons Lucas, 8 gallons oil for a fresh oil change. I've been using this for well over 15 years in various heavy trucks, it helps maintain the longer (10k mile) oil change intervals. 908,000 miles on the Cummins and it uses no oil in the 10k-mile change interval.

I also use it in an older small-engine (mower) that had some blow-by. The Lucas thickens the oil, reducing blow-by and oil consumption. It also reduces rattle in that small engine.

All-in-all, a good product. This is a viscosity "improver" (i.e.makes the oil thicker). It uses long-chain molecules (that means it's sticky as heck), like STP. This means it can be a mess if you spill it. It's a pain to clean up.

Easier to pour if it's warm, I sit it out in the sun before using.

I won't get into the argument of whether this stuff works or not (I burn oil, and auto part employee recommended this to slow burn/seal gaskets/whatever he said 4 years ago. I've used in every oil change since then.) I usually see this for anywhere between $11-$15 per quart, so when I saw 4 gallons (16 qt) for $101, I jumped on it.
