[V6-12v] Oil Light

[Calvyn]

As far as the monster truck force needed to remove the drain plug. Try a
copper 'crush washer', and change it with each oil change, so the experts
say.. Although I've never replaced mine and no leaks (knock on simulated
wood product) so far. Maybe is just my HUGE biceps of death that get me
through the job.. :)

Subject: [V6-12v] Oil Light

My dad and I went to change my oil the other day.  Like last time, this time
it took nothing short of a herculean effort to get it loose.
 I thought the oil pan was going to fall off.  Well, the oil drain plug came
off and the oil was changed and replaced the oil drain plug (mutilated
beyond the point that a proper-sized wrench cannot fit it).
 I went to go somewhere today and the Oil light started flashing for about a
half of a mile.  I pulled over and looked underneath and saw no oil dripping
from anywhere, the oil drain plug didn't back out.  I started it back up and
the oil light didn't come on once.  Now, before the oil was changed, I could
start the car and the oil light would flash maybe 4 or 5 times then stay off
and I thought that was because I put too much oil in and it made a censor go
haywire.  I'll look at the place my car is parked and see if any oil is on
the ground tomorrow when it's light but I don't expect any.  If I get this
much trouble changing oil, I'd save much trouble and just get a Fumoto
valve.  What did I do wrong here?  (sorry if this isn't in an easily
readable format)  Thanks, Nate.
