In this video, you can see a trick to remove the oil sump plug from a Nissan Qashqai. This vehicle has the peculiarity of having a sump whose round plug has a square socket inside, requiring a special tool to remove it. However, the YouTuber has found a tool that is indeed special but does not need to be purchased from a specialist shop.

It is actually the internal pin of a door handle, which has exactly the required "pitch". To turn it, simply apply force with a spanner, and you will be able to open the plug.
