Oil Pan Leak

Oil Pan Leak
Hello, I have a problem with my oil pan. The bolt is stripped and I was planning to do a time sert on threads but a few mechanics I called told me that there's a possibility that it might be cracked because I have an aluminum pan. So I have somebody that's willing to give me a steel pan from a CX to put into my HX. But I'm not sure if that will be compatible because the HX has the aluminum pan... Any help would be great! Thank you!

Re: Oil Pan Leak
I can't really tell if it's cracked or not. The bolt is glued in with Honda Bond right now and that's where it's leaking from. I'm wondering if a steel pan would fit on a D16Y5 engine because I'm tempted to just replace it to save me a lot of trouble in the future with the time sert in case it doesn't work out.

Re: Oil Pan Leak
And here everyone thought you meant one of the mounting bolts. If the drain bolt is stripped just got to Napa/Oreilly's/Autozone and buy a new one. The drain bolts are designed to strip out before the pan threads anyway.

It's post whoring, nothing more.
A steel Y7 pan will work. You might want to check the oil pickups though and make sure they're the same length.

Hahaha I'm glad we're on the same page now! :D How would I check the oil pickup? They should be the same right? I should have this done by next week so I won't have to fill my car up with half a quart of oil a day! :D

Re: Oil Pan Leak
Just make sure you use a Y7 oil pan gasket.

Re: Oil Pan Leak
As a temporary solution until you can change the pan you can get an oversize plug at an auto parts store. It's just a bigger plug that's tapered at the end and cuts it's own threads into the pan as it goes in. Just be careful and make sure it goes in straight or it will still leak.

+1 the aluminum pan strips 99% of the time before the plug strips. Most steel Honda pans strip before the plug too.
