oil change

Put a little heat to it with a hand-held propane torch for about a minute or so, then let it cool and try again. Heating and cooling fasteners is a great way to get them to release as they'll expand and contract at different rates.

Then you need to replace it with a Fumoto Valve so you won't have to use tools anymore for oil changes.

Put a blow torch to your oil pan!?!?!? That's a bit of a radical solution, isn't it?

Put that adjustable wrench away before it does any harm! They suck for most applications, in my book. I prefer to use a box-end hand wrench for sticky nuts and bolts...



I think that's the most secure and reliable wrench for high-torque applications. I've split sockets on stuck bolts before, and broken adjustable wrenches, too. Even a cheapo box wrench will not open up or turn out the corners on a bolt.

Good luck!
