Default Changing my oil 1999 LR

What size is the oil pan bolt to change the oil? I went to auto zone to get a 24 mm wrench. that's still to small I was wondering if anyone knew what the size was?

Yes it's 1-1/8, also commonly found on trailer hitch wrenches.

Or a big crescent does the trick. Don't forget the crush washer.

I think that I saw a member post once that he flips his over each time, you can also buy them in small quantity from on-line suppliers.

i do this on most of my cars... no issues. sometimes they look way too beat up to flip then its time to replace.

ive heard the lug wrench fits on the drain plug? i didnt try last time i was under there because i had a wrench, but... thatd be pretty clever if it was the case!
