The oil drain plug should be 25mm. The magnetic plug sold by IPD is 1" (I hope I didn't get those backwards). A 1" socket should work for both, since it's only 0.4mm larger than a 25mm bolt. I use an adjustable wrench, which I know some people would definitely not recommend. It works great for me, but then again I don't crank it down to 30-50 ft-lbs like some quick lube places might do, so it always comes off easily.
