Where can I buy a replacement oil plug socket?

It is for a 2003 mustang v6. The socket or bolt oil plug I have now is rounded so I can't take it off as easy. But after I do manage to take it off I want to put the new replacement plug. Where can I buy one? Please help and thanks in advance.

Try an auto supply store, they may have info on the bolt diameter and thread pitch for the drain plug on a v6 mustang. If not they may be able to sell you a few common sizes, a drain plug should be quite cheap so that is one option.

The other option is to remove the plug, and measure the bolt dimensions yourself. Bolt diameter, thread pitch (assuming the bolt is SAE, then that is how many threads per inch) and length of the bolt. Make sure you re-install the plug and refill with oil before driving to the hardware store/auto supply store and provide them with the dimensions they may be able to help you.

Any new plug you get be very careful installing it for the first time. If the bolt is an imperfect fit it could allow an oil leak or cause you to strip out the threads on the pan whilst tightening it.

Good luck
