Oil Drain Plug
What is the metric size for the oil drain plug for a 1993 Civic LX? The current one has gotten stripped a bit and I'd like to replace it. I know Honda oil pans can be a problem for drain plugs and can get stripped and so on and so I might have to look more into that also later. Anyways, just looking to find a right size replacement bolt right now.

Correct. Sorry, I thought you were just talking about the head of the bolt.

You can't just go by the head size b/c there are two different drain plugs that come in Ford vehicles that have the same thread pattern but one has a 13mm head and the other has a 16mm head and both of them are the same thread pattern as a Honda!!!! I work at a quick lube place and I'll try to remember to check the thread patter tomorrow for ya and let you know for sure. I can also just mail you one if you want!

the thread is M14x1.5
it doesnt matter what the head size is, if youre buying a new one.
The problem isnt going to be the plug though - the pan's threads are going to strip WAY before the plug will.

This isn't true, b/c I've seen countless Hondas come through my shop and when I was taking out the drain plug I had to take it all the way out with a wrench and I looked at the threads on the plug and they were all kinda messed up, so I went and got a new plug and spun it all the way in with my hands and it tightened down just fine! Plus the oil pan on his car is more than likely a sheetmetal pan so replacing the plug most likely will fix his problem.
