You going to put a torque wrench on it everytime you change the oil? Just tighten it until you feel the crush washer 'crush'!?!

lol, you dont need to torque it
Just use common sense and tighten it till its on....whats the word im lookin for...tightly, lol. Dont go cranking it down and screwing up your threads.
What i like to do is screw it on with my fingers till its all the way in, then take the ratchet and tighten it till it gets hard to turn without excessive force.
If you still cant get it, i dont know how else to help you ...

I think that 30 lb/ft should be sufficient, but I don't know anybody that actually uses a torque wrench for the drain plug. Not to say that it's wrong to, but just not neccessary. My manual has 29 lb/ft for d16y5 & d16y8, and 33lb/ft for d16y7, so as I already said, 30 lb/ft should be good (though I know you have the 1.5).

Y8 has an aluminum pan, the threads are easier to strip.
Everything else (dseries wise) is steel, so you can give it a bit more torque.
IMO, just torque it till it's tight, it's really not worth pulling out a torque wrench for.

Even though the block is the same, they switched oil pans with the y8's? That's kinda wierd. Any clue why?
