I would stick with the XP transmission oil on this one.
Good luck trying to get the inspection and drain plugs loose. I have yet to get them out and have tried twice, and given up, because I am affraid of striping the 8mm hex bolt. Talked to the dealer about it, and he laughed and said he uses a long breaker bar and to go ahead and give er.
I'm still leary about forcing it, as it looks to be an aluminum plug and it is really sealed in there.
Anyone else run into this on a XP?

How are you hitting it? Are you hitting it from the side, catching an edge, and trying to rotate it ccw or just hitting it straight on like you would with a hand impact wrench?

Smack the plug with a flat edge punch on the face of the plug!This plug is soft and will come right out.
