BLACKROBOT da339414-46c5-47c2-9fbe-252a3df021c2 24mm Low-Profile Oil Filter Socket
Product description
When an oil filter cap sits in a tight space, a low-profile socket can make it easier to reach and turn. The BLACKROBOT 24mm oil filter socket is designed to remove and install compatible filter caps, with a six-point profile and a 3/8" drive for use with a matching non-impact tool.
Its compact form is suited to work around restricted areas near an oil filter or fuel filter cover. For a focused 24mm job, does a dedicated socket make more sense than reaching for a multi-size kit? It keeps the tool choice specific to the cap size you need.
Where it shines
The six-point opening is shaped to engage a compatible oil filter cap, helping keep the socket seated as you loosen or tighten it. That secure contact is useful when access is limited and there is little room to reposition a tool. Its low-profile design is intended to reach filter elements in small gaps, making it practical for planned oil changes and filter service where a standard-height socket may be awkward to position.
The socket is made from heat-treated, forged chrome vanadium steel and is intended for use with non-impact tools. Buyers describe it as fitting their applications well and working for oil filter removal, including specific BMW filter jobs. Those comments are individual experiences, matching the socket to the filter cap remains the key to a suitable fit.
Key takeaways
This is a single-size tool for 24mm oil filter caps, rather than a general-purpose set covering several sizes. Its 3/8" drive connects it to a compatible drive tool, while the six-point design provides a close engagement with the cap. That combination gives the socket a clear role in a home garage or workshop: keep it with the tools used for a vehicle whose filter cap matches the 24mm profile.
BLACKROBOT also offers multi-size sets for people servicing caps across several sizes. If the task is centred on a compatible 24mm cap, this socket keeps the selection straightforward and avoids carrying a larger assortment for that job.
Who it’s for
Choose it for oil filter cap removal and installation when the cap is a compatible 24mm type and access calls for a low-profile socket. Before starting, compare the filter cap with the socket’s size and six-point shape, the listed vehicle applications are examples, not a substitute for checking the cap fitted to your vehicle. Use it with a matching 3/8" drive tool and keep the work non-impact, as intended for this socket.
Questions before you buy
What is this socket designed to do? It is designed to remove and install compatible 24mm oil filter caps. Its low-profile shape is intended to help reach the filter element in areas with limited clearance.
What drive tool does it use? The socket has a 3/8" drive. Pair it with a compatible 3/8" drive tool and use it without impact operation.
How do I check whether it fits my vehicle? Check the oil filter cap’s size and profile against the 24mm, six-point socket. Vehicle fitment depends on the cap fitted, so confirm that match before beginning the service.
Final verdict
For a filter change involving a compatible 24mm cap, this BLACKROBOT socket brings together a low-profile shape, six-point engagement and a 3/8" drive in one dedicated tool. It suits garage and workshop toolkits where a close-fitting socket can make filter-cap access more manageable.
