Default Oil Drain Bolt
I can't get my oil pan drain bolt to budge. I've already tried putting some wd-40 on it, and I don't have an air wrench...any help/tips/advice?

yeah no matter how tight or loose i put mine on when changing the oil, it always seems to take an extreme amount of force to take it off.

I would never use an air ratchet on that. Use a breaker bar which most of the time will have more force without stripping the bolt.
