Your owner's manual will show a picture. I believe it is a 14 mm bolt. Use a box end wrench or socket to loosen it. Then remove by hand without tool. When oil is drained, place new crush washer on oil drain bolt, and finger tighten first (to prevent cross-threading), then tighten with wrench or socket.

The oil filter may need a oil filter cap wrench to remove, as it usually is fairly tight. Apply a light coat of clean oil to the oil filter o-ring gasket, and only hand tighten. No need to use a tool to tighten the filter.
