So Randy, you are saying that you just had a new engine oil changed because of probably over-tighting a non-oem gasket on the oil drain plug? lucky you, you found out that... otherwise, you might fry your machine...your machine just had a new oil changed and should have a long life to go.. if you were at traffic jams and the nut fell off...your dashboard should respond you the engine oil light on, right??? unless you don't know and don't read your warning light....

Yes, I changed my oil only a week before the plug dropped. And, no, I didn't OVER tighten it, I UNDER tightened it to avoid distorting the icky a/m gasket.

Interestingly enough, the oil light never came on. Either there was enough oil to keep it from happening, still circulating, or, the light failed. At any rate, I've got a lot to be thankul for.
