Has anyone thought about what that does to the aluminum oil pan threads? That much force strips them out instantly, and then you're looking at a whole new pan instead of a simple oil change.

It's like people forget that aluminum is soft, man. You see this everywhere now, just forcing things instead of taking a second to do it right.

An impact wrench on a drain plug is just insane.

Just strip the threads right out.
