:roll: I am trying to change the oil in my 1998 Jag but I can't seem to remove the oil drain plug. Also it is making a horrible clicking noise when I first start it, then it goes away after a few minutes. What could this be? Thank you.

the noise may be the secondary tensioners the plastic will break off. need to go to dealer or qualified notice i said qualified mechanic to do if not done right will possibly cause engine damage. the drain plug should just come off unless it was cross threaded
