Lil help....
Doing my first oil change on my '05 Magnum R/T. But it seems like I don't have the right size socket....and I can't believe there is a socket size that I don't own. Is there a special socket for the oil plug? Has anybody tried installing a quick drip oil plug yet? I tired to loosen with an adjustable wrench and with the slightest pressure, the bolt stripped a little bit so I'm planning on replacing it. Anybody have problems with this at all?

The drain plug is metric, as in 13MM.
It is a good idea to replace the drain plug after a few oil changes, as the rubber gasket seal is part of the drain plug.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New drain plug from the dealer runs about $6.
