Successful Oil Change!

Ahhh....
An uneventful oil change. Everything went smoothly. Just like it is supposed to. Like all the other times I changed oil on my Nissan Truck and my Mom's Subaru Outback.
I can't tell you what a relief it was. The first time I change the oil on my 99 9-3 it was a disaster. I rounded the drain plug and had to reuse it cause I used a 12-point socket and I had no spare (like I would?). Had to reuse the copper washer cause I had no idea it needed to be replaced. I smashed my fog light bracket on the way off my old K-Mart jack ramps. I was totally disgusted with myself.
But after I removed the old rounded drain plug with a Craftsman #8 (13 mm) "Damaged Bolt/Nut Remover" everything went according to plan.
No rounding of the new drain plug (6 point socket!). No "what's this copper washer" (cause I got a new one with my new drain plug). And no smashing my fog light bracket on the way off my jack ramp (thanks to my new Rhino Ramps).
Just wanted everyone to know.
Thanks
