Does anyone know the wrench size used to do an oil change besides the oil filter wrench? I have a 2000 Contour V6 SE M/T. Thank you.

15mm for the drain plug, torx #30 for removing/replacing the air deflector (9 screws), garden work glove (good grip) for filter removal and installation. I don't use filter wrench. I don't jack up the car for oil change and that's why I need to remove the air deflector to gain easier access to under the car.

If you drive up on some plastic ramps you can leave the deflector on . Unless you have a lowered suspension...

Same here. Everything up on ramps whenever possible.
