It's actually on my wife's 2010 kia forte...
can't get where the oil plug meets up with the pan to quit leaking.
I replaced it with a quickvalve and it still leaks.
Replaced crush washer everytime and same thing, oil leaks.

Any other suggestions?

Are you sure the threads have not ben stripped out?
Is it bent/dented up in any way around the hole to prevent it from sitting flat?

What about permatex between the new quickvalve and the oil pan?
I do not plan on removing it anyway once it is in its final position.

Isn't it under warranty? 10 years 100k?
