LOL! Just picked up my OEM filter housing socket. WTF? 27mm? Now I have to buy a socket for the socket. Grrrr. Wish they would do like Honda and make most of the drain plugs and filter sockets accept a 3/8" ratchet directly. Going to be using a 3/8" something anyways, may as well make it so that the use of something in between is superfluous.
