I've got a pretty large socket set but no hex sockets so I just bought this one singly. Just hope I don't lose it since I don't use it for anything else

If you are gonna use an L-wrench then make sure you break the fill plug first, in case you can't break the drain plug. Probably should do it in that order regardless.

Edit: if you have a torque wrench it is probably 1/2" drive so either get a 1/2" socket or make sure you have a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter.
I have a torque wrench and 1/2 to 3/8 so all I would need is the 3/8 10mm hex. Thanks...

I have a Matco set that has a 3/8 socket to metric hex. Not 100% sure what size but it fits perfect.
