Oil Plug problem
Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2017 3:08 am
Hi,
I have a 2001 convertible. I went to change the oil and discovered that the oil pan plug is not a normal hex bolt. It is a recessed 4-sided plug that is a bit smaller than a 3/8 inch drive. Anyone know of a tool to remove the plug? I have not been able to locate one.
If not, anyone have a good idea on how to fashion a makeshift tool?
I thought about grinding down a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch adapter...
Thanks,
James
