Ok, just gotta put in my 2 cents worth. I have never used a torque wrench on a drain plug in my life, and I have been changing my own oil, (and customers) for almost 60 years. Both cars, and OPE. Have mostly reused the gaskets, and never had one fall out. Now I know that plug is aluminum, but there are (or were) lawn mower engines that used plastic drain plugs, and it seems to me that a mower engine runs hotter, and vibrates more than a car engine. Now to be fair I did see a few of those plastic plugs with the head broken, but they didn't fall out. Something seems funny here.
