2012 Hatchback 1.8L drain plug

[2012sonic]

I've been trying to buy a magnetic drain plug(I know - I know, but cheap insurance against.... something - IMO) from BUY HERE IF YOU KNOW YOUR PLUGS THREAD SIZE

He says the plug I need is M14X1.5X12.

Can anyone confirm?

I changed my oil yesterday and it looks like that is the right size.

big thread, big pitch and short thread depth.

Stock plug is a torxs or whatever they call it. If you use a regular hex head bolt it might hang down and rip out if you hit a rock or something.

Take a look at it.

Thanks man.

I never really thought about a bolt being ripped out from a rock/bottoming out - but I suppose it could happen.

Side note, you could also use a C-wrench and just go on the outside of the Torx.
