I have not used this. Could you share some details on where in the car this would be used?

Drive on,

That tool is used to remove the drain plug. It can be operated using a socket wrench. The service centers use the same tool to drain oil.

This must be for the new generation Swifts. For my Swift (2008 model) this would not work. The sump nut is removed using a size 17 box spanner. I guess this is a torx type tool.

That isn't the case either. I changed oil on my new gen Swift at home and the drain bolt is a standard 17mm box.

Mine is a Dzire zdi 2008 model.
I dont know if this type of drain nut came on dzire only.
The tool is Torx 45 used with a socket.
Please see the below link i found while checking on internet.

I guess those are interchangeable, the standard sump bolt would get disfigured after some use may be disfigured if it hit something underneath, with this type which is recessed grip it is almost indestructible.

something like shown here

Yes of course, but i wonder whether the factory uses both these types or if the service center is changing it to the other type. Mine came from the factory with the torx bolt i know as i was there with the car when i got the factory fill oil changed at around 4000kms.
