Re: ENGINE OIL DRAIN PLUG
I was looking through some online sites and low and behold found a tool set with the tool needed for sump plug removal.
Don't know if i can post the link. But its at "supercheap auto"
"Toolpro Sump Plug Removal - 17 Piece, 3/8 drive"
Set includes: Square key sizes 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14mm, 5/16", 3/8"
Hex key sizes 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 17mm
Female square drive 10mm
Triangular sump plug size 10
I now need to see if it is at my local one.

Re: ENGINE OIL DRAIN PLUG
Seems to have survived.
Called my mechanic, who was mortified I'd used engine flush, let alone left it in overnight. He told me a couple of stories, from personal experience, where engine flush has seemingly destroyed an engine.
He helped out with the right socket/key (8mm square, 3/8 drive). After removing the old oil (which didn't seem sludgy, then again it was 9pm and I had only a hand torch) and filter, I flushed through a litre of the new stuff, installed the filter and oil drain plug, filled her up and seemed OK.
Drove into the city for the daily grind today and back to the mechanic's tonight to drop off the tool and didn't notice any odd sounds so hopefully I haven't destroyed the engine... Driving an hour away on Friday to get an installation so hopefully I'm not stranded on a freeway somewhere!
