Yes....concur.....the pipe wrench gets tighter with torque and that 8 inch should be perfect
(use a large box wrench with box on pipe wrench handle or pipe as a cheater).
But before you use 8 inch pipe wrench get yourself a New OEM
Oil Pan Drain Plug
Or Aftermarket
Oil Pan Drain Plug
and the
Seal Washer
A little heat directed at the existing plug might help.
Oil Pan Drain Plug (14 mm Box wrench).....38 ft-lbs (5/8-18 Thread).....actually a bit less torque with a bit of Permatex on the washer/threads.
I never use a torque wrench on Oil Pan Plugs.....just a 14mm box wrench and pull about "this" much which is not too much
