PSA: That stupid oil drain plug on my '08 Civic took me 90 minutes to get off

I mean everyone says those crush washers are fine but mine was basically welded on from the last shop. Tried a breaker bar, PB Blaster, everything. Finally had to chisel the dang thing off. Has anyone else dealt with a drain plug that just refuses to move?

Just get a new plug and crush washer from the dealership. That's way easier than fighting with a seized one for an hour. Future you will thank past you.

Is it really that big of a deal though? Most of the time some PB Blaster and a breaker bar gets it out in like 10 minutes.
