What size is oil drain plug?
 

I am gonna do my oil this week and my tools are in storage, so I need to purchase a wrench for the drain plug. I cannot seem to find out what size I will need....not even in the Serv Man! Anybody?

Thanks!!

Oil Drain Plug is M12xP1.25 so I'm guessing you'll need a size 12. :tup:

Standard 6 inch crescent wrench will work.

12 sounds small...but I did purchase the crush washers today and they are tiny as well :)

Thanks!!

M12 is the bolt shank diameter (i.e. 12 milimeters). Socket sizes are measured "across the flats" so would be larger than 12. Probably closer to 18 milimeter socket size.

Edit: Looking at my machinery's hand book, looks like 18 milimeter socket.

12mm socket is what i have in my notes (in my droidx). :)

the cover is held on by 10mm bolts btw.

I'd buy a magnetic drain plug. Just another small peace of mind.

shud b here tomorrow :)

Right on.

Got luckey and it was in my mail today!! Copper washer is not fitting totally flush on the oil plug though. screws down but wont bottom out. I am temted to just use the flat washer that came with it.

It goes on a certain way, flat part towards the pan.

Just an FYI, the oil plug is 14mm ;)
