08/2.4 oil filter retainer r&r
 
Hi, I know I'm a noob here and a rookie 08 Cobalt sport owner so this is a fwiw from a noob.

If you have an 08/2.4L, you will not be able to get the filter retainer off with a standard (shallow) 1-1/4" or a 32mm(?) socket. The #4 intake runner is in your way. A 1-1/4" crows foot works in this situation...but be careful & make sure you have a good bite on that plastic nut. I'm sure that there is a special tool but I'm too new to this car and have not done enough searching yet.

Cheers
Tom
