Yes, good to know.  One question:  When I bought my camper (1991 Volkswagen
Vanagon GL Campmobile), it had a non-standard oil plug, with a 17" head.
Due to the recessed fit of the plug it was very difficult to fit a wrench
to the plug head.  I obtained a standard plug, I don't remember where now,
perhaps used.
