Mr. George
If man was to use teflon seal on thread of plug gasket not important,
and would be removed easy.
Not think I guess.

I used to use old oil drain plug washers until finally the plug stuck so
tightly that I began to calculate what oversize I should use for the
stripped out hole I was going to have to repair. I eventually got it
out, but only after much tenuous peckering around. Right after that bit
of fun and games, I went straight to the VW parts counter and bought a
handful of the washers. The time spent to run over to the dealership was
minor compared to the man-hours expended dealing with the stuck plug. I
also came to the same conclusion about breaking out the torque wrench
just for the singular task of tightening the plug.
