No not at all. If you have a 1/2, 9/16 and 5/8, standard size box end wrenches along with 14mm, 15,mm and 16mm you'll have most of them covered.
Large HD trucks, tractors and heavy equipment is another story.
You'd better plan on continuing your set on up to 1" and metric sizes on up to 25mm.

you could exchange the filter out devoid of changing the oil and vice versa, in spite of the undeniable fact that neither one is a competent thought. changing the filter out won't help your oil project lots because of the fact the dark interior the oil is carbon that's already too small on your filter out to technique. the filter out basically gets out the huge stuff. on the different hand, changing the oil devoid of the filter out ability there's no good cleansing factor on your oil and there'll be fouled oil nevertheless interior the filter out which ability you will start up out with grimy oil as for oil interior the face. on almost each and every vehicle the best of the filter out is greater than the best of the oil reservoir, in this occasion the quantity of oil spill from the filter out isn't with regards to draining the oil from the vehicle first.

Every engine has a different size drain plug. They usually range from 13mm to 17 mm.

NO they are all different. My Civic and Audi are 17mm and 19mm (I forget which is which).
But in general they are big enough to let the oil drain fast. Just make sure you use the correct size so you don't strip the head.
Good Luck
