The oil drain plug on your 2013 Hyundai Sonata will either have a 16mm or 17mm hex head, depending on the type of plug used. It is compatible with both sizes. Typically, the manufacturer's plug is 16mm, while aftermarket replacements often come in 17mm. When replacing the plug, remember to also replace the crush washer and make sure to torque it correctly. For the '13 Sonata, the torque range should be between 25-33 lb-ft. It's crucial to torque it properly to avoid oil leaks or damaging the plug or oil pan. If you don't own a torque wrench, consider borrowing one for this specific task.
