Default 02 A6 4.2 Quiz: Size of oil pan drain bolt??

Ok, first correct response gets really good karma for the day. Got all set up to do the 4.2 Sports oil change, up on ramps, belly pan off. . . The oil drain plug is a six sided hex like bolt.

I don't have one that size. Some bigger. . . many smaller. . . .

What is the size of the oil drian bolt? Is it metric or standard?

Thank you, and happy holidays,
ds

Default 24MM and make sure you use a socket and not

an open ended wrench. It will round off in a heartbeat.

Default For future reference

nothing is "standard" (SAE/Whitworth/whatever), it's all metric, on these cars.

Is this a trick question? Do you want the bolt size or the size of the HEAD on the bolt?
