What size wrench is needed to remove oil drain plug?
I have a 89 240 and went under the car yesterday to change the oil. The oil plug is huge and I didn't have a wrench or socket to fit it. I had to use a pipe wrench to loosen it. Next time I want to have the correct tool. I want to go to the store and buy just one socket instead of a whole set of big sockets. So anyone know which size it is?

RE: What size wrench is needed to remove oil drain plug?
Sorry j, but I can't tell you the exact size wrench to use. The one I've been using is a 1" box end, of which I know is not the correct size. It's a little loose but works like a champ without rounding off the drain plug. The biggest metric wrench I have is a 19mm which is why I've been using my 1" wrench. Hopefully tech or someone else will give you the exact one to use.
