My van had over sized oil-drain plugs (re-tapped) and I did need a thin-walled socket to get up in the space.
My mechanic just ground down a regular socket tof fit.  I sold that WIYH the van.   m

Subject: removing oil drain plug

Arriving home tonight with the motor warm, I wanted to change the
oil.  The drain plug head takes a 19mm wrench but all my sockets are
too big to fit into the recess in the case.  Do you normally need a
special thin-wall socket to get the drain plug out?  Or has someone
put an oversized plug in?
