[AT] OT drain plug size

[Cecil Bearden]

This is one of my parts getter vehicles for the old tractors.

My 2017 Grand Caravan oil plug rounded off with a 6 point socket. I have 
no idea how the plug could get so tight running, but I changed the oil 
the last time myself and did not over tighten the plug. I rounded the 
head of the plug off with an impact socket. Had to borrow a pair of 
Knipex alligator pliers from a friend to get it loose. He had to use 
both hands and push against the tire to get it broke loose. I got a 
replacement from O'reilly auto parts. It stated the plug was a M14x1.5 
However it will not screw in 1/2 turn before it freezes up. I put in the 
old plug as I had no choice. The mopar number is MOPAR 6506214AA but 
this crosses over to the M14 x 1.5 plug that I had. A thread on the 
earlier generation models stated that some had a 1/2 -20 threaded plug 
as it had not changed over to metric completely. Anyone had this 
experience??
