Tom - My 2004 Honda Odyssey also had a soft oil drain plug. I let
the dealer do an oil change and the next time I tried to change it,
I had to get a 6 point socket on a breaker bar because my 12 point
Craftsman (old style) socket kept slipping. Since then, I've always
used the 6 point socket and never had any issues (of course, I
torqued it normally by hand). I wouldn't be surprise it the tech
used an impact wrench to tighten the plug. <br>
<br>
I know it isn't an answer to the plug material, but hopefully you
can get it off with a 6 point socket.<br>
