Lingo, If you want to make a tool I can loan you one of the originals and I would suggest you replace them with the plugs with a 17mm head.

I can't figure which size or which kind of tool to use to remove the oil. Also, the transmission drain plug is locked tight. So tight in fact, that I stripped the plug after working on it for two hours. It will not budge. What can I do to get the cars fluids changed? Suggestions appreciated.
