Update for anyone else that's ever curious and searching...
I reached out to TSP, as they sell the brass plug, on sizing. I guess it's a 17mm hex. So that's answered. If nobody is sure, I will try and squeeze caliper in there and measure the size of the old plug if I can. Looks like the line comes undone like the tranny cooler lines into radiator..so just pull c-clip out and line will come out? So after line is moved, a socket should work? I'm guessing 30+mm on that one

Both of my Blackstone Lab results were great. Had one done at 100k miles and another at 130k. My next one will be at 150k

Such tests are more centered on engine wear and antifreeze chemicals, and not all compositions of oil.

I seen that and that's why I paid the extra for testing for the additives.

For automotive applications I would use the base test only. There isn’t much value in $400-500 dollar tests when ultimately you will just change the oil. Oil companies have prioritory elements not shown as options for testing.

I don't doubt some tests are expensive. I think it was like $70 to do it all. I may be remembering wrong but it was under 100

Got ya. I think the base test is like 28 plus hazmat shipping. FWIW personally, if something’s out of spec beyond that I would just change the oil.

If you have a 1 1/4 socket that will work also. I would recommend getting a tap just in case. I wish I had when I had mine apart. I got the new plug in but I think it would have been better if the threads were chased. Now that is my experience.. you may have a different. I did buy the tap after in case I ever need to remove it again. Prayers from the man above I don't.
This is where I got my tap but it will take a good 6+ weeks - https://www.ebay.com/itm/S-1pcs-28mm...4AAOSwmmxW52BP

I will just see how the plug wants to go in i guess. Don't really want to wait 6 weeks down waiting on a tap! Lol

Mine wasn't xthreaded but it was only hand tight.
