I can't find the years-old thread that asked this question....but I did find the answer. The 19/32" side of the #25 wrench fits the differential, transmission, transfer case, and steering knuckle fill plugs, and the transmission drain plug. For you folks that are inclined to think metrically, for all practical purposes, it's 15mm.

Hi,

19/32" is 1/32" over 9/16" - which is probably the cast size of the drain plugs you list but.....if you look at them..... they have a cast taper in them which means a "standard" spanner won't actually fit.

My 10p's worth! :D

And a 1/32" less than 5/8" which is what I've been using all these years.
