as someone that's relatively new to audis, can someone explain
why this drain plug is such a pita to get out? i've never run
across a car that had such a problem with a simple drain plug
before. it's not as if they seize up over years of time - it's
an oil drain plug. i just can't understand why they seize up
so badly and this valve is used by so many people here. more
curious than anything.
