why do you ask such a question?

It should be either 17 mm or 19 mm, fine pitch threads.

I think, I may be wrong.. anyone else?

Guys, he's looking for the thread size/pitch. Not the size of the bolt head.

Just pull the bolt and have it matched.


PS: do this when you are changing your oil and have a bud drive you to the hardware shop. Find out what pitch you got.
