yep, had quick look on mine - 21....

27 would be normal SW according to DIN for M18 but what's normal on cars.... (better than ford who use 13mm hex heads on M14 oil plugs)

IIRC last one I did on a VR6 was 22mm. Perhaps aftermarket are fractionally bigger.

Mine maybe 22mm aswell as the 21mm is just a fraction to small

I checked with adjustable spanner.... cheap halfrauds one, wonder how good the gauge is.
but quite possible that different manufacturers have slightly different sizes...
