SuzukiSavage.com - Is this normal?

And as far as the plug leak goes, I just bought my Savage knowing full well that it had the plug replaced by the dealer. They took me and showed me the repair and I'm not the least bit concerned with its reliability.

Dealer said it hadn't started leaking yet, but when they took it in on trade, they went ahead and did the repair anyhow to prevent a future issue with a future customer. I like that approach from a dealer!

That's a fine dealer - hope they put some sealer on the new plug - anyway give them an att-a-boy for sure as the suzuki dealer near me is just a flame'n sack of dog sh... never mind...

Hey you can order a magnetic drain plug @ www.magneticdrainplug.com rather interesting bunch of goop it extracts by your first oil change (1500 miles max for me)
