I changed the oil on our 2015 Toyota RAV4 yesterday. Previously it was only changed at the dealer. The cartridge filter housing has a drain plug on the bottom which, when I attempted to remove it, unscrewed the whole filter housing. This creates a cascade of oil. I put the housing in a vice and attempted to remove the plug but the vice would not hold it at what seemed to be a reasonable pressure, without breaking the housing. The plug remained stuck. So I reinstalled with a new filter and oil. My question now is, how do I get the plug out? Or should I just leave it in place and deal with the oil spillage? Oh, and before you say it, I understand that this is what you get when you let the dealer mess with your car
