How I solved that stuck oil drain plug problem.

I panicked first. Then calmed down. Then went to the mechanic shop, who told me that if he busted the oil pan, he wouldn't be held responsible. I decided I could bust my own oil pan. Then I took my hack saw and filed a slit into the bolt and then got a small chisel and tapped very forcefully on the bolt head until it came loose. Then it happened again! Turns out that the aluminum in the hole on the 603 had begun to strip in places, which made the bolt tighten excessively without too much effort. However, as a last resort on the 85, you can just unbolt the pan to get that bad oil out of there.
