Default Anyone heard of a oil drain plug being a 14mm hex?

The last time my oil was changed the plug was stck so they got it off (and ruined it) and ordered me another. This is a 14mm hex key plug. Just wondered if this is a common size. No stores around here have a 14mm hex I checked sears and other local tool stores. TIA

Default That's weird. Here's something you could do...

Get a bolt with a 14mm hex head. Put two nuts on it and crank the nuts against each other tightly so they don't move. Maybe put JB weld on them too. Then you can put the 14mm hex head in your drain bolt and use a wrench to turn the nut.
