Default Oil drain plug Question

Hey guys, since the search function is not working and this past weekend kinda stripped the bolt for the oil pan, I ordered another one through ebay. Its a magnetic oil drain plug in which advises fits all honda's. But when looking at the size of the bolt, it was 14mm x 1.5.

Is this the correct size for the s2k. I thought it was 17mm.

Thanks,

so ours is different than a honda civic?

Cause on the ebay listing, it advised it will fit all honda's including the S. But I found that the civic uses a 14mm bolt..

I think it's just the head of the bolt that is different in size. The threading I believe to be the same.

You guys are confusing bolt head size with thread size.

OEM honda drain plugs all have 17mm heads, and 14x1.5mm threads. The length of the threads depends if it's going into a steel or aluminum pan. Steel pan drain plugs are shorter.

So both 17mm and 14mm are both "correct"
