Re: what size drain plug fits on a 2002 dodge neon?
Your best bet will be to go to a salvage yard and take one off one of the Neons there, with permission from the owners. Just any plug won't do. The bore size and threadding have to be exact, or the pan will leak.

Best way is to remove oil pan and weld in a new nut for drain plug, next best is to retap the threads to a slightly larger size and replace drain plug.( get plug then retap to fit the new plug.) may change from std thread to metric to be able to do this. Lastly the least effective way i know of- buy a small rubber expansion plug that fits in and tighten bolt that runs through it to expand the plug. ( this should work for a while till you can get it fixed properly.
If they are plugs they may be drain holes or a place where you can fit a drain tap. If they can be plugged and you have no items to attach to them it will not be a problem
Hopefully your not attempting to replace a fuel pump in this vehicle or the tank its self?
There is no drain plug you have to purchase a fuel extractor pump. They are manual or electric. You put pump hose in tank threw fill up and start pumping the fuel out into its container.
CAUTION; WEAR EYE AND BREATHING PROTECTION. KEEP FIRE EXTINGUISHER'S HANDY.
The oil drain plug is a 13 mm. The tools for the brakes, a 10 mm socket for the caliper pins, a flat head screwdriver, or a meduim size prybat to get the calipers out of the mounting bracket, and a 4" C-clamp to compress the pistons into the calipers so you can put the new pads on.
For some reason neons require Champion brand plugs,like the one's from the factory. Also check the plug wires. If it's also got a nasty oil leak on the driver's side the cam sensor is probablt the culprit,causing the misfire.
It appears that the threads are stripped on the bolt or pan. To remove the bolt, try having a helper put a couple of screwdrivers (flat) between the bolt and pan, and while you turn the drain bolt to loosen, have them apply pressure downward on the bolt. If you have a carpenters flat pry bar, that would probably work even better to apply downward pressure to help remove the bolt. Next, you'll have to go to a parts store to get a drain plug that is made to replace one w/ bad threads. Let me know how you do. countrcurt0
