Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) oil drain plug problems

Trying to change the oil here after correctly torqueing the plug last time. The problem is removal. Can't seem to budge it in either direction. Any tips? thanks

oil drain plug

I had to use a cheater bar. Second time, same thing. I suggest ordering one of the oil drain valves from geno's,(I got the FINGER TOUCH one). When it arrives, remove drain plug and replace it with new valve.

SJ, thanks for the reply. Can't believe after torqueing to specs that I would have such a problem. Applied antiseize when I finally busted in loose. I agree the quick drain valve sold by Geno's is the way to go.
