I'm sitting in my car right now Dodge 2021 and I cannot drain my oil because the idiot screwed it too tight and now I got to wait for tomorrow a.m. to get an oil change smh got A12 hour drive to bury a love one
I’m sorry to hear that, best of luck to you. This isn’t my vehicle but I have done several oil changes on it. I have noticed that the oil drain plug seems to really tighten up over an oil change interval. Maybe the design and materials are more sensitive to the hot/cold cycles. But I’ve noticed that we will tighten it with a torque wrench to the proper specification and still it winds up ultra tight the next time it needs changed. This doesn’t happen using the same torque wrench (and similar torque spec) on other vehicles. They’re noticeably easier to loosen at their service interval.
I like the doubled up drain pan for the reduced chance of a spill!! Thanks for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
