When I first got my used 3.0CL and went to do my first oil change, the bolt was stuck and the mechanic didn't want to be responsible for stripping the thread since apparently the thread is made out of aluminum, but then another mechanic with more guts got a large extension and managed to get it out. So you'll probably have to force really hard to get it off, I seriously doubt it's rusted or anything like that, it was just tightened TOO much.
