Um, the transmission drain? The engine oil isn't a Torx, at least, not that I have ever seen..

Default I bet he mean the Transmission Oil Drain Plug. It is a very special tool...
not even torx.

Default If that's it, then it's not a 17mm hex....
17mm hex is needed for the fill plug though, IIRC.

Default 3357 triple square socket....
for the drain, and 17mm hex for the fill.

You can get the 3357 from Zelenda, I think it's about $20 or so.<ul><li><a href="http://www.zelenda.com">http://www.zelenda.com</a></li></ul>
