Hello, please tell me what size socket head is needed to remove the oil drain plug for the vehicle listed above. This isn’t mentioned in the video which is very helpful.

Hello,

If it hasn't been changed by somebody, it should be a 14MM hex head M12 X 1.25 bolt. It should be torqued down to 111 inch/lbs. or between 9 - 10 ft/lbs.

Thanks,
Alex
