Default Can someone confirm the hex wrench size needed for ATF fill plug

for some reason most posts in the archives have people using large bolts instead of the proper tool.

Default make sure that you can get the filler plug out first... if not then dont even go all the way with

draining the fluid. some people drain the fluid and then find out that they cant get out the filler plug... be aware of that
