    Thats what I thought lol, spent two hours trying to get the 13mm sump plug off yesterday. Mum got her work hack (Calais) serviced at Barry Burke Holden last service and it just didn't want to come off. Took Bigjim, Capralicious and I 2 hours to get it off today. We threaded the 13mm plug so had to bash on a 12mm spanner! Then smack it with a hammer. Took ages but got it off. Put a new 15mm sump plug on as well. Moral of the story, don't get it serviced at Holden. Last time I did it on my SV6 took me less than 30min lol.

    Great article Luke52, it takes a lot of skill to write a "how to" article that people can easily understand regardless of their skill level, you've achieved that & done it well.

    Straight to the counter at holden mate, they should have a whole bucket of em, about $10 each with a washer. Holden say you should replace it every oil change ...
