Get a good quality socket set instead. You will not regret it.

I change oil on 5 cars/trucks and 2 quads....I just grab a 13, 14, and 15mm covers 90% of what i've come across.
 
Got the 13mm socket (6point) and got the job done today; conditions: 18 degrees and snowing, light wind - FUN !!!
first oil change for me on this rig, and of course plug "a little tight," but got it out OK. (It was really much too tight.) I reinstalled it so I can get it out easily the next time, as usual.

It should be. I believe those were the type that had an o-ring type seal that was captured under the head. Those seals should be available through a parts store through Dorman.
 
I only grab one wrench when I change oil. Its called a Crescent
