It is a 15mm bolt.

This link will give you all the info. you need, and it even points out the oil plug with a nice blue arrow, for your convenience.

If it makes ya feel better I have no clue how to change my oil. I just bring my mobile 1 oil and filter to the dealer and they change it for me for like $15... and it's on record if you ever have to sell your car or have a problem.

Stik,Specforce,river,nikev:
Thanks for the help--i appreciate it. I finally got that plug out, I was just worried because I didn't realize that it would take that much muscle, but i finally got the job done.




Thanks again-Enjoy the rest of weekend.

Not starting a flame war here on anything, and certainly no "internet beef" intended, but obviously I went into changing the oil for the first time and I was clueless. Sorry, I wasn't an expert on what the plug looked like. Some guys know cars, some some guys have expertise in other things. Is there really a need to make a comment on me asking a question that I was had no idea about? Its like ripping on a guy entering this country for the first time and laughing at the fact that he wasn't able to speak English. We all have our own knowledge in different fields.

No flaming intended, just by nickels worth.

Take Care, Jason
