I found the crush washer in the used oil when dumping into the collection container today, so that's a relief. Although that makes me even more upset knowing that they never bothered to check for a leak and just let it leak.

I went to the dealership and talked to the lead tech. I verified his answers with the former lead tech (who now is independent), and they were total malarkey. Some of the most illogical crap ever thought up.

The stock drain plug is soft for a reason, which is one thing I definitely notice. But I also know that most everything I've seen on this car is designed this way for a reason. The plug is cheap, so if I need a new one, I'll just get another one. To keep the 8mm/3/8" hex tight, I used a paper napkin over the bit to remove any play. Seemed to work well. I was tempted to use the t50 torx which I bought because it does fit much better, but both technicians at the dealership said not to as it would definitely strip the plug. I'll try the torx when I have a spare plug as I don't buy it. Looking at the plug, the t50 will hold much better.

I tried a 76mm 14flute filter cap wrench from Napa and it still slipped like the 75mm one. I've got the Porsche tool on order from the dealership as they gave me a good price after they've pissed me off so much. We'll see if I can get the filter off next week. For now, at least I've got fresh oil. I hate that I hear so much cam and lifter noise though. I want to get everything in there cleaned up and running smooth again.
