Oil Change on 2001 X5 4.4

[Jeff Sparman]

Well I stared out to change the oil on my X5 this morning. I found the Oil Filter canister, next I jacked up the rig and found what looked to be the oil drain. It looks to be a 17mm with a 6mm allen inset. All is fine and dandy. Oil pan, tools, music playing, You get the picture. Simple I think? Simple if I could get the drain plug to move. Holy Snikies is that plug on tight. I tried to free it but no way. It's to the point I'm afraid that I might round off /out the drain plug. I'm thinking that the shop that did it last put a mighty torque on it. For fear of damaging it I'm taking it in to the shop unless you all might have any suggestions?
