My wife's new car (not a BMW, BTW) has a drain plug that just doesn't
want to loosen. The dealer last changed the oil about 5,000 miles back.
I'm afraid that if I really muscle it, I'll strip the hex head round.
I've tried sockets, closed-ends, open-ends, and crescent wrenches with
no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions (other than Jiffy Lube)?
TIA
Evan
