Lisle Low-Profile Filter Socket Set 7-PC, 3/8" Drive — 6-Point Sockets in Compact Case

Lisle 13270 is a compact 7-piece low-profile filter canister socket set engineered to remove and install common oil and fuel filter housings using a 3/8" drive.

This compact set gathers seven of the most frequently used metric sizes for low-profile filter canisters into a durable storage case. Each socket is a 6-point design and made to fit recessed or shallow filter housings where a standard socket won't reach. The set is geared toward domestic and import vehicles that use smaller filter canisters and makes filter service quicker and less frustrating for home mechanics and professional techs alike.

Which filter housings will the Lisle 13270 set work on?

These low-profile sockets are sized to match many modern oil and fuel filter canisters that sit close to the engine or inside tight compartments. The included sizes cover a broad range of passenger cars and light trucks, especially models with compact engines.

• Includes 24mm, 25mm, 27mm, 28mm, 29mm, 32mm and 36mm sockets
• 6-point contact for firm engagement and reduced slippage
• Designed for shallow filter canisters and recessed fittings

How do I use these sockets with my tools?

Each socket accepts a standard 3/8" drive ratchet or breaker bar, so you can use the tools you already own. Select the socket that matches your filter housing, seat it firmly over the flats of the canister, and apply steady torque to loosen or tighten the cap.

• Works with 3/8" drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• Low-profile design lets sockets reach recessed canisters without clearance issues
• 6-point geometry minimizes rounding and improves grip under load

Which vehicle examples are compatible with the 24mm socket?

The 24mm socket in this collection fits several small-engine GM models and other compatible vehicles that use small metric filter housings. Always confirm the correct service size from your vehicle’s manual or by measuring the canister flats before use.

• 2009 and later Chevy Aveo and Pontiac G3 models
• 2011 and later Chevy Cruze with 1.4L, 1.6L, or 1.8L engines
• Also useful on other compact European and Asian makes with similar-sized housings

What practical benefits does this set offer in a garage?

Having these low-profile filter sockets saves time and reduces frustration when working in cramped engine bays. The variety of sizes eliminates the need to improvise with adjustable tools that can slip or damage filter caps.

• Compact case keeps sockets organized and transportable
• Reduces risk of rounding filter flats compared to adjustable wrenches
• Speeds up routine maintenance tasks like oil and fuel filter changes
