Re: [DML] oil filter plug wrench

[Gus Schlachter <gus@xxxx>]

The oil drain plug socket is a Snap-On tool, part number 111104 from delorean.com. I
keep mine in the glovebox.

I had a local lube shop offer to drill out the pan and install a "normal" plug. I
passed! However, one could weld some square stock into the drainplug, making it male
and removable with "normal" tools. And if you screw up, new drainplugs are about $4.

I was turned away from a lube shop once, because my car was too exotic (Volvo?) and too
expensive (less than that Lexus over there!). A letter to the shop owner got me an
apology letter and a promise to stock my correct oil filter.
