Well, maybe the drain plug has been tightened too much from the factory since I counldn't take it off. I use a filter wrench to take off the housing, but ALWAYS hand tighten it back once done..

On the NX with the filter housing it needs to be more than hand tight. The torque spec is in the picture above, 18ft-lbs.
