[200q20v] OIL DRAIN PLUG

[Edwards, Gregg]

Yes, I do have the same plug in the 94 100q.  I have done the work myself,
and never had it freeze up. It does appear that it would be prone to
overtightening. I don't use a torque wrench retighten it, only the 17mm hex
head tool. The tool is about 10 inches long.

Actually, I think Gregg Edwards has this same plug on his '94 100q avant.

Probably a porsche drain plug.

<< Hi Bill - my '91 TQ Wagon has a unique (I think) drain plug bolt which is
a
recessed 17mm hex fitting. I do my own oil but found that when I did need a
shop to do the oil (out of town), they WAY overtightened the bolt & I had
to take it to a shop to get a breaker bar on it. So the plug may not be
freezing up if you're having a shop do it, they are just torquing the hell
out of it so you'll come back & visit!
