    Don't over torque oil drain plugs.

    Changed the oil and filter today for the first time. When I installed the first of the 3 plugs, I put a pretty good pull on it. I noticed that it didn't feel like it was torquing up. Then I remembered what I read here about not to over tighten the plugs for fear of stripping out the threads...
