You're going to install a drain plug? Mine already had one from the factory.

) I unbolted the pan and drained it the old school way. I believe they changed it to a regular 6 point fastener in 00 or 01, but from what I've read, they too are way over-torqued from the factory. You may be able to remove the factory plug once the pan is off and you have it on a bench, in a vise, then just install a new factory drain plug and gasket...probably have to hammer the poop out of the plug with a chizel or something and risk damaging the pan though
