When I did my first oil change I didn't have a garage at the time. So I took the filter and oil to Jiffy Lube to have them do it. How bad could they screw it up with me supplying the material? Well, yup they totally stripped the drain plug and couldn't get it out. I really worked at it too and couldn't get it to budge. I finally had to drop the whole bottom of the pan, drill the plug, and work it out with an Easy Out. Now I ALWAYS do my own oil changes on the Boxster and torque that plug myself.

Good suggestion Jeff, I'll try the Torx bit next time.
