Default Oil Drain Plug...

Well, my family is in the process of a move and today was the third consecutive day I've brought up a different set of sockets, jacked up the car, tried all the sockets and found out that none of them fit! Can someone please tell me what size the oil drain plug is? I don't even know if this qualifies as tech, this is pathetic I know!

On a better note, my XCal2 should be here tomorrow! I had it tuned for my dual exhaust setup and it's not going to be installed for a while... would it hurt to run the tunes without it?

The first set I brought wasn't metric and one was just slightly bigger... [:@] The next two sets were metric but one set was just too small and one didn't seem to have just that right one... But if I look on the bright side, I'm a pro at prepping the car for an oil change now, haha, I've got that jack down pat!

99% of the drain plugs I have encountered are 15mm. Some are 13, and I did a Hyundai that I think was 17, but most are 15.
