You have the larger drain plug from the 20V engines (and I guess the
V8's). Angela's 90Q20V has this one, too. It is quite different from
the smaller one on my 100Q. 

Return it to Imparts, and tell them you have a "super 90".
Then let me know how it works, since I want to order one for
Angela's car. I hate drain plugs.....
