Just my luck, the last place I took to get my oil changed rounded off the plug. Now I can't get the plug off. Any suggestions?

Just remember, when you lower your car, it makes it that much more of a pain just to get underneath the car. That is unless you have a low profile jack, which might be a worthwhile investment. I always take the front passenger wheel off to get to the oil filter easier. Unless the car is on the lift at my dad's shop.
