06 evo mr oil change
I am about to get an o6 evo mr and i was looking under the car. On the oil plug there is a line that goes right throuhg the middle of the plug so i cant use a 17 mm closed wrench. Can i take the line off to take the plug off or do i need an open wrench? thanks a lot

dumb
i hate using the open wrench side. I might just invest in a open wrench with the extra side that goes around the plug. What if that plug gets stripped. That was pretty stupid to design like that. thanks

I use a socket that is used for removing a O2 sensor, this way I can use a torq wrench on it. I'm always paranoid about how tight I should go before I either, strip it, crush the hell out of the aluminum seal washer or not enough and it comes loose and I spill out enough oil to damage the engine.
I'm one of those people (little OCD at times, esp with lug nuts) that needs to make sure every freaking bolt is to proper torq spec. Wouldn't make a good mechanic, I would be way to slow
