It fits in tighter than 17mm which is a good thing.
Nothing that comes in a green bottle can be any good.
I understand it now......great idea....as you eliminated the leverage action (tipping of Allen out of plug as you apply torque) of the longer 17 mm Allen (another benefit of shortening one leg of the 17 mm Allen wrench - tipping & space)

I assume you do not have to tap the 11/16 nut into the 17 mm Allen socket and assume there is no road rash on the bottom 17 mm transmission drain plug.

On your opinion of the green oil bottle.....I am not so sure
