How to change your oil

Couple of stupid technical errors here, rub oil around the ring of the new oil filter to ensure a good seal, and never touch used engine oil with your skin - it's under investigation as a possible carcinogen. And obviously you need to wear skimper clothes.

Has anyone ever come across a sump plug thats so tight it wont open and the head on the plug wears down so the socket wont fit anymore?? (obviously over tightened by previous garage wayyyyy too much) :1icon_evil:
Basically has anyone ever rung off the head from the thread?? is this likely to happen if i go at it with a vice grips??
