Loctite
So, changed my oil today. The plug had a hard time coming out, ended up rounding it, replaced it after getting an extractor set and a shiny new one from AZ.
Could someone please tell me why in the world there would be blue Loctite on the threads and mating flange of the old one???
Am I missing something? I thought you were supposed to be able to take them out...

did you happen to have the vehicle last oil change done at walmart? the reason why i ask is because they use (or use to) a blue glue around the plug to make sure it wasn't tampered with if there was a problem with the service they provided.
my mother found out the hard way they are idiots cause they used the glue on the filter gasket too... sorry it is a little bit off topic just had to add that.
