hi all

im wanting to do an oil change on my car tommorow and need to buy a socket/spanner to undo the oil sump bolt. im just wondering if someone can tell me what size socket/spanner im gonna need to undo it. i've done it once before by borrowing the right socket off a friend but i can't remember what size.

btw i tried to do it today, but of course i didn't have a spanner/socket big enough :doh:

Thanks

Mr_PudS

surely someone's gotta know?????

umm, its rather large...like 19 or 22 or something, i can't remember. I have a large enuf wrench set anyways :)

is it the same as a 3rd gen ???

if its the same as my first gen then it think its either 23 or 24, im pretty sure its 23 for some reason

well if so its definatly 24mm

It is a 24 mm on the first and secon gen cars.

Use a "single hex" socket, pref impact socket with a breaker bar as a spanner may slip and round the plug head.

A single hex is a socket with only 6 sides inside the socket.

it's the sam on all magna's ... 24mm ... i have a 3rd gen which is 24mm and my old 2nd gen was the same and the old man has a 1st gen which is also the same :) ... at least they made something easy by keeping it all the same

sweet ... thanks for the replys :)
