Two questions/statements I have on drain plugs
1) When someone says that they stripped the plug, do they mean the 6m socket in the plug head or the threads on the plug? Big difference.
2) Best I can figure for torque specs from this thread is somewhere between 10-25 Nm. I'm not sure what I'll torque mine to when I change my oil for the first time. Probably 17.5 Nm or just use feel based on 40 years of oil plug tightening experience.
