crankcase drain plug

[morgal48]

Learned yesterday that those billet Al drain plugs don't survive 37 lb/ft of torque should one not seat the 8mm hex driver properly. The head of that thing will shear right off. With nine quarts of fresh DT40 leaking. Bought a new drain plug from Pelican - surprised that Suncoast was 50% higher for same part. Did not consider my local Porsche Palace as a vendor. Best news of the day was no bright shiny stuff in the folds of the oil filter.
Found that the previous owner had transmission oil changed when the IMS, RMS and clutch were done. The line item price for the 75W-90 they used was $15. Hoping that the 10X price of the Porsche brand improves notching shifting when cold.
