Thanks Steve for the late night suggestion.
I did a search after my post, and rummaging through, I found that the 1/2 would have worked for a tighter fit, but I could not get it on. I also tried the 13mm again, whacking it on to ensure a snug fit, but I ended up ruining one socket. The wrench finally turned, but the nut stayed in place. It was the dealer (that treats me well) that did the last several changes.
Tomorrow I will run over to pick up the replacement plug and a good set of vice grips. I could not find a set in the garage (but it is both dark and late). Will give it a few more tries, also add heat a bit, and then see what happens. Otherwise it looks like I will be grabbing my items and bringing them to the Delta Sonic (I think they give discounts for own oil and filter) to deal with it, with new plug and friendly warning 'lighlty' torque please.
Time for bed! Nighty night all!!
