Default Transmission Draig Plug Hex Size?

The Bentley manual had nothing and a some searching on the boards lent me no answer either. Anyone done a transmission fluid exchange recently, or in the past, and remember the size of the large hex fitting on the draig/fill plugs? Thanks in advance.

Default Good memory...

for an old guy. :-)

He can also get the $15 Snap-on one, won't work any better, but looks prettier.

Easier than buying the xzn socket for the newer models

It varies with model year. My 02 has the hex socket but someone later ran into a tamperproof torx

It's not a torx it's a xzn, see below. It started mid year 2002, my car has it.

Yeah I know but that just further confuses most people anyway.
