Following the torque specs for tightening the oil drain plug, I managed to shear the head. Not enough that I can't remove it, but enough that it won't last long.
Is anyone using an aftermarket plug?
I'm thinking it would be good to have the option to put a wrench around it and saw the Corse Dynamics v2 plug. However, a lot of reviewers talk about finding the magnet in the oil which...is not OK with me.

There doesn't seem to be much else out there other than cheap ebay bits but I really don't feel like using the OEM part.
