Oil drain/fill socket

[user 5942]

Hey guys,

Was just wondering what kind of socket do you guys use to open the oil drain bolt (transfer case for example).

It's not your usual hex key, but more like a square and measures 13mm in size. I try to plug 1/2" ratchet straigth in but it feels somewhat lose.

Was wondering if there's anything specific you use?

Thanks!

Yeah its just a 1/2 inch, shouldn't be that loose though as to casue issues.
