You can get an Ecotec oil filter housing socket on eBay for under $10. I got a Lisle brand socket mailed to my door for $9. Very easy find at most any auto parts store as well.

Hey, Guy from NJ here. I plan on purchasing a Cobalt soon. Noticed you are also from Jersey. Hope you'll write back when you have a chance to: ggarofanooptonline.net

Walked into my local CarQuest and walked out 5 min. later with the correct tool. Cost less than 10 bucks.

It is good to hear from a from a person in NJ. What style of Cobalt are you considering, couple or sedan? What trim level? I honestly can say this, I have almost 13k miles on my car, and there is not a day that goes by that I can't say I regret buying a Cobalt. I absolutlely love the Onstar, and the XM is not bad either. Let us know what you are considering. Good luck in your search

Locally I could not find the low-profile socket at any of the auto parts stores.
 
I already had a normal 1 1/4" socket and it could be used to loosen the filter cap----- but then I had to re-tighten the cap somewhat to get space to remove the socket, and then I could unscrew the cap by hand. That worked but was inconvenient.
 
I'm glad to hear the low-profile socket is becoming more available. Many internet suppliers were asking more than $20 for them including shipping.

This part has been available for several years, nothing new about it.
 
Like I said, my local Carquest had one on their tool rack when I walked in there a year ago.
 
Tools aren't cheap. Many don't understand the expense mechanics have in tools.

Yep, the black plastic oil filter housing cap is also made by Lisle corp, interestingly enough. Same major manufacturer of the "oil filter socket"

Any of you know good "web sites" describing the Chevrolet Cobalt.
  I'm thinking of buying one and would like to read lots of information about the car before making my decision.
 
  Thanks in advance.
