Does anyone know why the drain bolts/plugs are put in so tight? The idea is to not become loose, leak, or fall out. It seems the larger the engine , the tighter they are installed. I have tightened our plug to "about "40 ft lbs.for the past 5years. It had ben put in by a previous shop way north of 100 ft lbs, to the point that I thought I might damage the oil pan.
