As want33s said, just use a 3/8 drive ratchet. If you don't have one, but have 1/2", just go buy a 1/2" - 3/8" reducer.

I don't own one, but I have seen lug-nut spanners. They are round sherical shape with 4 different sizes.

Yeah don't mean to offend mate, I had exactly the same brain fart for a minute or so when I went to change the oil in my gearbox hence why I found it funny.

I know this thread has pretty much been answered but i thought i would share my solution to this prob.

I went and bought a length of 10mm keyway steel, cut an inch off the end, filed it a little and hammered it into a spare 12mm, 1/2" drive socket.
Now i have a plug tool that fits the plug filler socket much better than my 3/8" drive does and wont lift out of or damage older, tight plugs even when i put my 40cm, 1/2" drive bar on it.

It varies a little.

For 1.6L auto Vit some are;

Castrol TQ DIII
Valvoline ATF type D
shell ATF IID or ATF IIIG


Most of the lube companies have Lube guides where you can put your vehicle make-model and it will give you all the recommended oils (but don't trust them too much ;) )
