OK, 394ci newbie here. I went to drain the oil on my 1964 Dynamic 88 today (low compression 2bbl 394ci V8) and the drain plug appears to be an internal octagon with points, kinda like a female Torx socket but with 8 points instead of 6. I have never seen a drain plug like this. Is there a special tool for this? Do all the 394ci use this? Of course, my 1964 Oldsmobile service manual does not say anything about a special socket. Any help is appreciated!
