Yes they are metric. You can get a metric set usually for a reasonable price. Not sure on the size any more. They deleted that filter on the 04-07 classic when they went to returnless fuel system.

I think one of the Sizes was a 16MM but It's been a while...

Having an 02, you may as well invest in more metric tools if you are going to work on it. Just about everything on that vehicle will be metric.

At least they are built with all metric now.
In the eighties, both GM and Ford(no experience with Dodge) had a mixture of metric and SAE throughout the vehicles.
