i need sizes for:

1) socket size for plastic oil filter cover nut
2) hex size for oil pan fastener

this is for a 2013 fiorino. my oil filter cover does NOT have any sort of dust cover or anything...the plastic socket nut is directly on the top of the cover.

i had watched some of the youtube videos showing other models like the panda 1.3MJ and thought mine was the same...they recommended a 27mm socket for the cover nut, which i bought, but this is too small for mine. mine seems to be more like a 30 or 32mm.

on the same panda vids, they said buy a 12mm hex for the oil pan fastener. but for mine this is too big. i couldnt see how much larger it was because i just stretched my arm under the car to make a quick test, and couldnt eyeball anything. but it was too big.

can anyone nail these 2 sizes exactly for a 2013? i live in a very small apt ans dont want to buy "entire sets" of tools that i wont use and cant store.

thanks,

Hi


I've just done an oil and filter change on my wife's Qubo 1.3 multijet which will be the same engine as yours - I just used an adjustable spanner for the oil filter cover, the sump plug was a torq bit a (the star shaped bit) a T45 size


Hope this helps
