Please learn from my mistakes. Don’t let this happen to you. It is worth the $2.50 to replace the oil plug every few oil changes. It took me a few hours to get this plug off. It was on so tight that even used the proper socket it still stripped on me. Then using the advice of the friendly guys at NAPA I tried the following to get it off. Smaller socket, Vice grips, pipe wrench, Cutting new sides with a dremal. All to no avail. What ended up working was I used vice grips to grab the very outer rim (yes those teeth marks are from squeezing the vice, grip that hard) Then once I had a good hold of it I heated it up with a propane torch for a few minutes’ Then lying under the car on my back I had to push upwards will all my strength to get it to loosen. I urge everyone to replace the plug every so often and to not tighten it very much; it just isn’t worth a wasted afternoon on a $2.50 part.
