Gary makes a point, but ,six sided box ends are scarce. A twelve point is pretty much what's handy. Just don't overtighten. NEW CRUSH WASHER, inspect the case surface, needs to be flat, that plug is Long winded, I wrapped around it with string and spun it out. Next oil change,you lay on starboard side, get wrench on , aimed forward, smack down. It should resist, pop loose and the weight of the wrench should fall, I held down and smacked the wrench. Before you install the plug, get a wrench on it that has the least free play you can find, Mark the wrench so you're not guessing up in a hard place to see. I've etched and marked certain wrenches... If you need a cheater pipe, you Did it wrong..I only used the other wrench or hammer to break it loose because it's an awkward angle and my shoulders don't like it. I've never seen an oil plug cause such trauma.,,I wish I could have seen has much the wrench moved freely on the plug . With a six point, slop worries me, with a twelve point, it's not gonna take much slop before I'm gonna do something to solve that Before I round corners. And don't be fooled by dirty bolt.
