amazing that you didn't tear the threads out of the pan instead of
breaking
a socket. SOMEbody shoulda been using a torque wrench on that plug.
Probably needed a new crush washer too,so it would not need to be
tightened
so tight to prevent leaking.
LMMFAO!! a torque wrench on a drain plug!! oooooooo kayy.
Yes, to prevent overtightening.
Let me guess: you use an impact wrench.
no, dougy, having done about 40,000 oil changes, i tend to know how to
tighten a drain plug. Thanks for playing!
