Thanks for all the replies. I just got back from getting my plug fixed.
Man, am I glad I didn't strip that plug!! Had to have the oil pan replaced
for a total of $388.24 USD. The quick lube place is paying for it! Which
brings me to the next question, does the oil plug need to be torqued?

The plug should come off by turning counter clock wise. The washer is a
redish color gasket (normal). If you are turning it counter clock wise, and
it
isn't coming off.. I'd say that it is stripped. Take it back (if it isn't
leaking) to
the place that did your last oil change and pitch a bitch with them to fix
it.
