        Okay, the plug is out. I bought cheap socket and welded it on the plug.

        The copper seal was missing so probably that's why the plug was tighten so tight. Previous oil changer tried to get plug to seal without the copper ring.

        Looking from the repair manual the torque for the plug is only 30Nm. I think I'll go pro and use torque wrench to tighten the plug.
