Default Drain plug large or small

I was looking on ECS' site and on their 40K service kit for the AEB engine it shows one option for a small drain plug(14x1.5) and one for a large drain plug(26x1.5). What makes these two drain plugs different and how would one tell which one they have.

P.S. Before you start flaming to search, I already have. TIA

depends on what your talking about "transmission or engine" regardless of which the larger plug is the filler which should be above the drain plug

oil drain plug well there is only one on the sump/oil pan, perhaps your looking in the wrong area "gearbox/engine"

ok - I know this is old but I have the same question. I have an 1998.5 with the AEB motor - ECS offers two different oil drain plugs for the AEB engine. How would I know what my car has? was there a serial break or year break that this changed?
the two sizes are 26x1.5 for the large and 14x1.5 for the small.
