1-1/4 short with a extension
actually the exact size is 32mm

ouch thats a big one.....
go on ebay and search for ecotec. you'll find a oil filter socket (special tool) for removing filter
Someone mentioned that socket on the newer model ecotecs was smaller, is this true?
I have an 05 Malibu Classic with the 2.2l ecotec engine.
2.2 is stock, the only smaller engine is the 2.0 supercharged eco
get a 1 1/4 short craftsman socket and use an extension
I'm thinking that you can get a Harbor Freight 1/2" socket set for the price of a Craftsman socket.
bah! $3 at pep boys for a 1 1/4" 3/8 drive short socket. $7 will get you the specific socket ( i *think* the brand is lisle), in their filter wrench section.
