just did an oil change myself tonight. last one to touch my drain bolt was diablo in walnut creek when they last changed it. they must've torqued it to at least 100+ lbs.. practically had to use a breaker bar to budge it. Idiots! i let it go when they overfilled it. they'll be hearing about this one. be careful of these monkeys! all this after they charged me 2.50 for the crush washer alone after they've given them to me in the past with a filter purchase.

update!
i changed my oil last night. the washer was still there but was held in place incorrectly. the flat surface is supposed to be against the oil can, but mines wasn't. needless to say, i roughly got about 3 quarts of used thick oil when i finally drained it. ( i put in about 4.5 quarts last time)
no more leaks! woohoo!
