Folks,

I am about to do the third oil change without having changed the washer. I
didn't have any trouble the other two times. I might have used my 18"
breaker bar for the job. This time around I bought five of those washers at
a buck each.

The specified torque for the drain plug is 40 Nm (30 ft lb). It's
definitely beyond snug to me.
