I have a 2006 HHR 2.4. What are all the tools I need to scange my oil? Please help I would like to know the best places to get them to. Thanks

 

Theres some sort of filter wrench, I saw it on e-bay...Someone found one still in his car after he got home...
I`m going to the dealer for a while...

 

Mr. B services Casper using a 1 1/4" socket with extention on a 1/2" drive ratchet on the oil filter cap. 15MM socket on a 3/8" ratchet for oil pan plug and a drip pan.
These tools can be found at most auto parts houses, hardware stores and Sears is our favorite.

You know more then I do
That sucks

 

As Sindy mentioned, a 1 1/4" socket or a 32mm socket will work to get the oil filter cap off.
You can also get the Lisle 14700 oil filter socket that is made especially for the Ecotec motors to get the oil filter cap off.

If you want to make things even easier for future oil changes, when you take the oil pan plug out, replace it with a Fumoto valve.

 

Any pics of that Fumoto valve??

 

and where exactly is the oil filter?

Top right on the front of the motor. It's under the black cap.

It uses a cartridge type filter.

 

You will also need a jack or ramps to raise you car to get to the oil plug.
