Just apply the spray and then wait 2mins before putting a wrench on the oil drain plug. Cheers from Aussie Savage

In the US the best penetrating oil I've found is PB Blaster. You can find it at most auto parts stores.

The best wrench you can use is a 6 point socket on a breaker bar. It's much easier to strip the bolt head with 12 point.

There was a small "blob" (slightly smaller than a green pea in size) of oil and what is probably very fine metal powder. I assume that's the goopy stuff Reelthing spoke of.
