Description
The ATLIN Oil Filter Socket is an essential tool for changing the oil on any vehicle equipped with a 36mm oil filter housing or 36mm fuel filter. Why Choose the ATLIN Filter Removal Tool + Unlike similar wrenches which are made from cast aluminum and subject to shattering, our oil filter tool is crafted from solid chrome-vanadium steel and will effortlessly handle high torque applications when removing a stuck filter cap. + On some vehicles, the filter can be difficult to access due to low clearance and tight spaces. The low-profile 1.25” height of the ATLIN oil filter wrench makes oil changes on these vehicles a breeze. + The 6 point hex on our tool features rounded corners unlike the competition. The rounded corners force the socket to grip the filter cap with the flat sides instead of the corners, which prevents binding and results in a more secure fit. You will never have to worry about rounding off your fuel filter or oil filter cap with the ATLIN 36mm oil filter wrench. WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS AND MATERIALS? 3/8-inch drive, 6 point, 36-millimeter, chrome vanadium steel CAN THIS BE USED WITH IMPACTS? The tool is not impact rated. Cartridge housings typically require low amounts of torque, so an impact should not be used in order to prevent over-torqueing. CAN I USE THIS ON AXLE NUTS? No. The tool is too shallow. It will not fit over an axle nut. WILL THIS FIT MY VEHICLE? If you are unsure about fitment, you can check our photos on the top, left section of this page to view our compatibility chart.
