I would not use those drains.

They protrude down and could get knocked off by road debris and cause a bad oil leak that you would not know about until the low oil level light, the low oil pressure light flashed on the dash.

And..Drilled the head off my stuck one a couple days ago and unthreaded the remains, really nice having both plugs functional, reach under and take an oil sample when you feel like it

and dont forget to rip your filter apart ladies..... and look for Treasure ( shavings ) -

I'm changing my oil tomorrow and if I cant get them off, I CANT help it. and i wont drill it out, or try to force it with a breaker bar.... until my turbos fail and I need to swap for bigger turbos (good reason)

I could use a little bit of heat...or wd-40 and let it soak ...I may find solution.... ill keep you guys posted!
