Get a Lisle "low profile" socket for the HFCM/oil filter cap at any auto parts store. It is more convenient for the HFCM (due to low profile) and way cheaper than a regular 36 mm socket.

Yeah carquest had one of the low profile fuel filter socket $10.00, even said fuel/oil filter removal tool for 6.0 on the package has worked well for me.
