Molten plastic lining? That's strange. I did my own fluid swap, and there's no plastic lining on the drain bolt itself. The bolt is steel, and there's washer. Are you referring to the washer? The washer is aluminum though, not plastic. Either way, it sounds like there was some sort of sludge stuck to the bolt, which definitely is not good.
