Oil drain plug Wrench size?

Thanks Bill

Jack -

On my 450 SL, it takes a 14mm, and I suspect your 380 SL kept the same size. If you should have difficulty locating a 14mm, the socket in the drain plug is a loose fit, and will also barely accommodate a 9/16", which is only about 0.011" oversize (just over a ¼ mm).

The 14mm. allen key you need should be in the tool roll, if it is still with the car.

Bill, do you know if this is the same size as the 560SL?

Thanks for your reply, mine is an '84 and I do have the original tool roll but no 14mm allen socket is with the set.
