We have a Peugeot 405 Turbo Diesel with a 1998 cc engine. Can anyone
tell me the type and size of the plug for the oil drain on the engine?
Square, hex ... and size.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I thought it might be square, since I machined something up once
on a milling machine do do the job on a Peugeot 306. I have lost the bit
I made though. I would not have made a hex one - too much like hard work.
