Allow the oil to drain until it slows to a drip.

Replace the drain plug. Screw it in as far as possible by hand, then use the 17 mm socket or box end wrench to finish tightening it.

Only tighten the drain plug until it is snug. Over-tightening the oil drain plug can strip the threads or crack the oil pan.

Wipe off the area around the oil drain plug with a clean rag or towel.
