i actually started thinkin they did it that way cause i didn't buy the maintainance plan.
i had the same problem.. i had to use and extension on the ratchet and then hit the bitch with a f*ckin rubber mallet to get to move..i was lit.

I am always weary of breaking loose bolts that are that tight in aluminum. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THAT SHIT a, B, aluminum isnt exactly the hardest metal if you havnt figured it out yet. I would honestly let the dealer to this oil change, see if they will cut you a break because the factory or whoev put that shit on so tight. YOU dont wanna be the one stripping the threads, let the dealer do it so they will have to fix it. BTW, lefty loosey, righty tighty

thats not what these kids are talking about and you know it.





to the rest if you.. my guess is this kids bolt really wasn't as tight as you guys are thinking it is. i'm sure its not TQ'ed at 100lbs or something. my guess is its at a weird angle, shitting tools and never worked on shit so he doesn't know how tight shit is. i mean really.. he added like 4inches to the tool he was using and got it out. plus he said he started it for a while before trying to take the bolt out. if it motor was hot it will be harder to get loose.


stop reading to much into this thread... no dealer is needed. they will just grab a long ratchet and take the bolt out without thinking anything about it. then charge like 50$ for an oil change

The oil drain plug did not have Loctite on it.

Turn harder next time. Remember, counterclockwise. Lefty loosey, righty tighty.

I'd never spell the word pics with an x when asking for pics of someone's cock. FAIL.

My theory is that you used the x to be able to use that lame excuse later... you fail.
