Special sockets for oil service
Which version do you need?
Special sockets for oil service come in different versions. You have sockets with E-profiles for oil sump plugs. Extended versions are available for hard-to-reach areas. Galvanised versions resist corrosion better. Choose the version that suits your work.
Check the drive size
The drive size determines whether the socket fits your ratchet. Use 3/8 inch for light work. For heavy-duty jobs, choose 1/2 inch. Always check the drive size of your ratchet. This prevents ordering the wrong socket.
Where it goes wrong when ordering
A common mistake is ignoring the socket size. E-profiles come in different sizes, such as E10 to E24. Measure the oil sump plug or check your vehicle's specifications. This way you change oil without problems.
These tools belong with oil service: choose your oil drain wrenches for the plug, add a drain receiver and top up afterwards with a filling aid for engine oil. If the drain thread is damaged, drain screw and thread repair helps you out.
