haha, i hate how i have to reach the oil filter when the car is not jacked up.
Anyways, CTScott should tell us how much torque to apply to the drain plug bolt. It shouldn't be tighten to the point where you can't take it off with a single socket. |

28 ft lb is the torque for the drain bolt. If you don't have a torque wrench it is basically snug without killing it.

Anyone ever used a Fumoto valve? When I had my WRX a bunch of the Subaru guys were using them but I never really asked. Seems like something that would make life a lot easier..?

I made my own ramp, though. It a triple layer of 2X12s bolted together in a ramp shape. Commercially availabe ramps are too high. |

drain plug
If you have to use an extra pipe or breaker bar to remove an oil drain plug that's suppose to be only 25-28 fb's than something's wrong. Hate to tell ya but the previous owner probably stripped the threads and instead of replacing the oil pan just JB WELD or glued the plug to the oil pan some how. I just put mine at around 20-25 ftb's to be on the safe side of not stripping. The oil pan is only 40-50 bucks on the internet and a fairly easy job anyhow. good luck to ya

There is risk of bending the rear axle beam. That it why it is not a recommended lift point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
