Use the ratchet WITHOUT the extension. Extensions tend to slip in the recess and round off the points, creating a whole 'nother problem which believe me you do not want to deal with.

I have one of the tools, but the ratchet works just as good and don't have to dig out (read hunt for) another tool.

Olds used that style drain plug thru 1967. My buddy freaked the first time he tried to change oil in his 66 Starfire. He's a Pontiac guy and had never seen anything like it. Told him welcome to Oldsworld...
