Those are 1/4" square drive.
Which is fine if you're using a small impact driver and that hex drive adapter in the kit.
But generally only good for small sockets.

For your oil pan, no, you should use a 14mm socket, not try to buy a different drain plug... that's silly.
But don't use it with an impact driver ... if you do need a socket, it'd be a good idea to get a ratchet with a 1/2" square drive.

Or just get a 14mm box end wrench and use that when you change your oil. That's what I use. For a drain plug you only need leverage for the initial loosen or the final tighten ... otherwise you can just unscrew it with your fingers anyway, so using sockets and ratchets and impact drivers is just overkill and unnecessary complexity..
