it's 14mm lost, btw the drain plug itself is 17mm

why thank you :-)

the only reason i asked is I have the 04+ galant techincal service manual, and in the oil change section it states to replace the drain plug gasket with a new one during an oil change. I really dont want mitsu voiding my warranty over a 1$ gasket

BTW, did you get it from the dealer or an auto parts store?

well, i live no where near a mitsu dealer so i had to go auto parts store, basically i just got 1 so I could get the recipt for a gasket so my dealer couldnt give me crap about a doing the service myself.
The gasket that is factory, is different than the one's sold at auto parts store, well at least advanced auto; so the next time ill order it from the mitsu dealer b4 an oil change, besides im following the standard service recommendation but i didnt want to use the facotry dino goo and oil filter to 7000miles, so i swapped it out for mobil1 and a k&n oil filter
