Focus now has a new proper Fumoto drain plug, and a properly seated filter. Now to go power wash my driveway from the catastrophic oil spill that happened....

Wait until you have to pound a screw driver through the oil filter to get it to turn. After that didn't work. You rip the filter housing off the base. Then use a hammer and chisel on the base to turn it.
Go to remove the drain plug and rip the welded bung off of the oil pan.
