W108 280SE 4.5 oil drain hex size

What size is the oil plug hex?

14mm or 15mm?

every mb i've ever worked was 14mm. if it LOOKS or FEELS 15, then the wrong tool was used in the past. get it out and buy a new plug. good luck, chuck.

The oil plug is 13mm, i doubt you will ever find anything 14mm on a Mercedes.
