Lightbulb You need a 38mm socket
Hello fellow base owner!
Glad you are satisfied of having the lowest model in the family! Group hug
You will need a 36mm socket 1/2" and some adapters to fit a 3/8 torque wrench. I've attached some photos. PM me if you have questions regarding 997.2 oil change. I am a professional oil 997.2 base oil changer!

I believe it is a 36mm socket. The one I purchased was a 6 point from Snap-on. Sear's has a 12 point but the six point fits better.

Socket for oil filter removal and tightening
I picked up the Lisle 14500 socket from amazon. It takes a 3/8 drive extension, and is made just for filters.
