Question

What size wrench do i need to take the bolt off of my oil pan on a 1999 mercury tracer?

Answer 1

You mean the drain plug. I don't know exactly, but you can use a largish adjustable wrench as long as it's high quality. If you aren't comfortable using tools, forget the adjustable. You can strip the bolt. Go crazy and take a few sizes under the car with you. You aren't going to save that much over a quick lube place, but hey...go for it.  

Answer 2

pay the 25 dollars.

Answer 3

I went to Sears and bought a "box end wrench" 16mm on one end and 18mm on other end. It fits about 99% of drain bolts on oil pans. The 16mm is close to 5/8 inch and the 18mm is fairly close to 3/4 inch. I used it when I worked at a Ford dealer ship and never found a Ford product it wouldn't fit.

99mercury tracer is probly a 9/16th wrench or a metric 14...

Answer 5

buy a set not just one tool ... and you can buy a adjustable one that will do the job.. and dont forget to buy a oil filter wrench ... a set of tools is always a smart thing to have really if your going to be working on your on car ore fixing one that is broken down on the road side they will last a life time... buy a small set any store autozone or walmart ubetween 25 and 50 bucks then you wil always have the right tool for the job.. buying one at a time will cost you more. and 14 or a 20mm i think... adjustable wrench ten bucks
