Bought the car recently, and this was going to be the first oil change by me.
I don't know if the previous owner got it in cross threaded or it is just stuck but it really is.
Any good ideas on how to remove it.
Car is a 1990 190E 2.6

Hi, I had the same problem when I first bought my Merc.
I recommend you get Bolt-Out form Craftsman (Sears). It worked great for me. Rememeber to buy new drain plug and copper washer before you do this.
If your plug thread is damaged then you may be able to re-thread with bigger size and use bigger plug or worst case need new oil pan.
Good Luck
