Oil drain plug gasket question
So whenever I was doing an oil change, I torqued the oil drain plug a bit too hard and saw a small bang go off (kind of like a firecracker) by the drain plug. No oil is leaking but would oil pressure be low and should I replace the oil drain plug gasket asap?

If you over torqued the bolt, it won't effect oil pressure, but it could leak.
Not sure why you would hear a "firecracker" sound unless you slipped off the drain bolt? |

Yea I don't know why either I didn't overly torque it but definitely to the point where a crackle just appeared out of nowhere
