The combonation of an aluminum pan and steel plug can cause problems with
differential expansion. If the plug is put in while hot the aluminum can
tighten up around the plug. I would try and remove it when the engine is
very hot. Replace the plug when the pan is cooler.

I an having an odd problem with my 9-5. I can get the plug in and out fine,
but it leaks. Again, in 20 years I have not had any problems like this. Too
bad Saab does not have a plug like Dodge. It has a rubber lip on the outside
that seals perfectly with almost no torque. A great design of a simple part.

Drive Safe,

Joe
