Stupid me stripped the hex head on the bolt when I put it back on. I realized the problem immediately and took it right off before I put any oil back in. Even with the ramps, space is tight and I didn't have the hex bolt completely in the drain plug. The bolt was in a torque wrench and I kept turning it waiting for the click that never came.

I'm not crazy enough to strip the threads on the drain pan yet, but I have heard stories of that happenng.
