I believe it's a 3/8 hex. Be sure to clean all the dirt around the plug, and on the plug itself.

I bought a set of torx bits and none of them seemed to fit, but then I was looking at the plug and noticed the outside of the plug is hex shaped. So I stuck a cresent wrench on it, that sure made me feel stupid I think it's about 1 1/4" wrench or close to it
