yeh nick its just a 36mm socket if i remember rightly,but watch out for it being a litle tight and go gentle releasing it,they are plastic and can crack,mine was pretty tight but just steady pressure and a decent long tool which will give more torque/purchase to undo it...much better than getting under car,you will have folk saying it dont get all the oil out,well a normal oil change doesnt either,just make sure you can get the dipstick area as the lowest point so all the oil congregates in that area where the syphon tube will sit.
is it 36 or 32?
