Default What size torque socket for 997.1 oil drain plug

I was trying to change my oil last night but I didnt have the correct torque socket. I have a freaking load of tools but was alway for domestic cars and a few tools for our Mercedes so I thought I would have had the correct tool.

Also if anyone knows the oil filter cap size for the tool to remove it that would be great also..

Thanks...

Search for "oil change" and you'll find great step by step instructions.

The oil drain plug is a 8mm hex socket.

The oil filter can be removed by the following tool:

You don't need a 27mm socket to use it just a 3/8" ratchet to fit into the hole in the end.
