Doesn't appear anyone knows the answer to this. Grab a set of metric and SAE closed end wrenches and head under. Once you do it the first time, right it down on your oil change log. I write it down at the top, right next to the oil filter numbers so I don't have to look them up anymore.

Recognizing that each vehicle can be different and these are only reference points.....my vehicles are 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, and 15mm

Sheez...... 'right' = 'write' (before richard jumps on my case).

Sorry, tired.

to remove the oil pan youll need the metric socket set but your only going to use 10 mm.& 13mm and an 6 inch extention.13mm on the corners an 10 around the pan.
