Pretty sure from his veiled hints that he is implying it hit something.

Mine actually a had a knurl imprint on 2 flats, obviously from a pair of ViceGrips! Had the dealership do the (free) service, and noticed oil spots on my driveway the next day. Took it to my local redneck garage. They had to use a breaker bar to get the oil plug out. Obviously, the dealership didn't bother to replace the washer, and tried to seal the drain by overtorquing the drain plug. New drain plug, new washer, installed by redneck garage, and all is OK. |

Good to know. I bought my car from them, but looks like they won't be servicing it. I actually use the Subaru dealership here in Tbay because the Toyota one is full of morons who have never head of Scion let alone the FR-S.
Who would you guys suggest in the GTA for service (Ill be in Whitby) that is also mod friendly? EDIT: @hmong337 looks like they used the ole good'n'tight method.

Meh it's just a drain plug. I'm going to keep getting the free oil changes for life at my dealership. If they fuck something up then they're paying for the fix.

At least it's stripped CCW, imagine how hard it would be to remove if they'd applied the same force when tightening. For the record I made the mistake of utilizing "free" services too where they "topped off" my washer fluid tank, except it was actually the coolant reservoir.

Ouch. There's not even that much torque on that bolt. The Fumoto valve is pretty nice though. Clean and leak-free. Good reason to upgrade.
Also I'm really doubtful that damage could have been caused by hitting something. The drain plug is tucked pretty high up, above the skid plates. I would guess impact gun as well.
