Review on Lisle 57030 Standard Filter Swivel by Joe Griggs

Revainrating 2 out of 5

FOLLOW sizes. Size description is misleading!

Bought the "Standard Size" option. Well it was TOO BIG fully enclosed. The size descriptions here should read "small, medium and large". The standard as labeled here was too large and I'm talking about the Chevy Silverado truck oil filter. When it was squeezed as tightly as possible, there was about a 3/4 inch gap between it and the filter. This means it's not standard and apparently I had to order the one marked "extra small". I have never heard of it. "Very small" for all the years I've worked as a mechanic. There is either a small (which is technically standard), then a medium (again standard, only with a large base oil filter) and a large one for grease oil filters. If the one I bought is marked Standard and was too big for my filter I can only imagine what the Large is for. How big do you think big oil filters are, the size of water coolers? So be careful because what is labeled "Standard" here is actually one size larger than standard size/diameter GENUINE oil filters. Nothing should be labeled "Very Small", it doesn't even have This means that technically Seen, for my regular size Silverado oil filter I would have to order "very small" which I never thought possible based on the description. I hope they will change it and just label it properly. - Usual standard - Standard wide - Very large And give a list of compatible oil filters at least by size.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
