5.7L oil drain plug gasket stuck

[archer000001]

Did the first oil change today -- everything went fine except I had a heck of a time trying to remove the factory gasket from the oil drain plug. It isn't the aluminum crush washer that some have described on this forum. It's the same hard rubber type as the dealer replacements that I have.

Anyway, it's stuck so tight to the drain plug head that I never got it loose (didn't want to bugger it up and still not get it off), so just reused it this time.

Has anyone had a similar experience and any success with this?

Thanks!

Channel locks and some RTV will do the trick

You sound like a candidate for a Fumoto oil drain valve, check 'em out on the web, I've had them on several trucks over the years, great product.

I've looking every where to find part numbers for the 5.7. I use fram oil filters and no one has a clue what filter it takes ,were did you get your filter. Also do you have any other part #'s. I'm still looking to cross referance a number for a replacement high flow airfilter.

toy dealer will have or can get you the oem filter which is no more than what your going to pay at a reg parts store. if have a trd the trd spec filter is avail from the parts counter too. k/n and mob 1 have no parts numbers avail but should have by the end of the month from what i was told.

cheers
