Oil change socket question

[Tdubalicious]

First time changing oil myself on my 05 and had a question. I have all the oil, filters and fuel filters. I just don't have the 36mm socket for the frame rail fuel filter or the oil filter. It appears that no one owns a 6.0 around town because no auto parts store sells the low-pro socket I need. Our local sears sells a 36mm metric 12-point socket, but will that work? Or should I just wait to buy one offline? Below is a picture of the kind they sell. Let me know, and thanks in advanced!!

Should still work. If you are uncomfortable with it just buy it, use it, return it, and buy the one online.

yep, it will work. thats what i used the first couple of year of filter changes.

That will work.

I just use a 36mm deep well impact socket on mine

I don't understand the need for a low profile socket I just use a standard socket never had a problem

I use a 36mm socket 1/2" drive, but I tend to use my 36mm wrench more on the oil filter.

Thanks for the input guys! It worked like a charm. I did the oil filter and fuel filters this weekend. It wasn't as hard as I expected. Next time I am going to use the 5 gallon bucket for the oil though, as the 15 quart drain tub didn't keep up as expected.
