No, some people still go to awful places for oil changes, as I have already stated.
My current SE, I had to take to a shop to get the plug out! THey did not charge me, but put the car on a lift and loosened the plug for me, I did the oil change when I got home. (Tipped the guy $20 when the manager would not charge me.)
There is NO reason to tighten that plug like that, but again, it happens.
