2016 Mazda3. Managed to strip my oil drain plug (at center area where hex wrench is inserted) and looking for replacement. Will any 17mm oil drain plug work?

Looks like the F106S may be better for my car being so low......I doubt clearance would be an issue but err on the side of caution I guess!??!

Good question, sorry for any confusion my original post created. I was referring to the head size of the old style replacement plug which was 17mm. Not a fan of the current design which requires 8mm hex key...

14mm is correct diameter.

In case someone comes looking for more about replacing the HEX oil drain plug. I emailed several different Mazda dealers who have their parts store online. A few of them said that P/N PE02-10-404 is what they recommend to replace the HEX plug. It will fit the Mazda 3 2.5L engine. I ordered one from my local dealer, including the washer P/N 9956-41-400 for less than $4.
