How'd you strip the drain plug? Just a little tight.

Lol. Yea, I'll use my impact wrench too. Wanna make sure that bolt won't come off during a trip.
Just like those idiots at the shops that use impact wrenches to max torque for lug nuts!!

Oil drain plug torque specs is 220ft lbs of torque. You should use a lil more.

Oh, the impact wrench I got is 600 ft/lbs working, 900 ft/lbs max.
I just don't know if thats enough torque for those dash trim screws. Might need to upgrade to a 3/4 or 1 inch drive impact wrench for the lug nuts!
