Dealer got my cruze with 7,500 miles and sold it to me 4 months later with 9,000 on it. They changed the oil when they got it with something. (maybe dexos-1 5w-30, maybe whatever they had in stock in their bulk tank).
I have 10,800 on it now and decided to do an oil change to ensure what is in there is what I want. (in this case, mobil-1 EP 5w-30. I picked up the filter from the dealer)
Anyway, purchased a 24mm socket for the filter and tracked down my 10mm socket for the drain plug. Jacked up the car a little bit (drain pan would not fit under it) and put my socket on the almost perfectly round, roughly 10mm drain plug.... ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What did they put that thing on with, an impact wrench??? Anyway, now I need to get a new drain plug before I figure out out a way to get the existing one off my car. Any suggestions for either? (where to get a drain plug that will fit and how to get the one on my car, off of it)
Stupid dealers.....
