Aware this is an old thread but thought I put this up anyway. Make sure the old washer is not stuck to the pan, smear a little aluminum anti-seize on both sides of the new washer and the bottom of the flange on the plug and torque to 37 ft-lbs. This way most of the torque is used to deform the washer for a good seal and not overcome friction between the washer and bolt flange. Anti sieze does a much better job than oil for this.
