2610 Oil Change

[Moak]

I can’t believe this. I decided to perform my own oil change on my 2610H instead of taking it back to the dealer. The last time I took it in, they had it for two weeks just to complete a service, and when I got it back, there were globs of grease all over the hood. I got all my supplies from the dealer, but I don’t know what they used to secure the drain plug last time, as I can't get it to break free. I don’t want to use a cheater bar or an impact wrench because I’m worried about damaging the oil pan or the drain plug. I started with a regular wrench, then moved to a ratchet, and finally, I got out my 1/2 drive ratchet with a 20-inch handle, but I still can't get it to loosen. This is frustrating! I hope that once I finally break it free, the oil filter isn’t tightened the same way.

Is it supposed to have a copper crush washer on it? If so, they may have left it off and used an impact wrench on it to seal. Use more power! One way or the other, it has to come out.
