I have also heard of isolated instances where the screw in fitting has sheared off leaving you in a bit of a pickle for changing the oil.
yeah i was one of those mentioned above
got a bit push happy with a breaker bar and sheared the screw off in the sump
luckily the sump was empty so i drilled out the centre and put the old plug back in until i could get a new drainplug. couldn't recommend them more- make life so so much easier
