i went to go change my oil today, and niether the 14mm or 15mm fit!? my so my question is if i do manage to take it out somehow are the threads that it screws into my oil pan gunna be fucked?

i have an aftermarket magnetic one

so would the threads inside the oil pan be stripped? or would a new one just screw right in?

worst case senerio, is the inside is stripped to, i heard they sell half sizes and stuff right, so u can make new threads or something?

 

pretty sure the inside will be fine, unless you cross threaded it in. Just get some good plyers and twist it off. Then get a new drain plug from honda or something.

 

is the only way to strip the threads is if its cross threaded? if so i dont see how it could be cross threded cuz its the same drain plug ive always used.

 

who knows, maybe it rusted up a little bit or something making it harder to get off.. get the little bugger off there then you will know.. case solved

 

no stripped, just that bolt is really hard to get off. I know i had to put the wrench on mine and give it a swift kick, and it is not threaded.

the head of the bolt is stripped tho, im just wondering if the threads inside my oil pan are stripped

 

the threads inside are probably fine, now if the head of the bolt is stripped, the only was to get it off is using some plyers.

 

is there anyway to tell if the threads are stripped? i dont wanna take it off and then not be able to drive anywhere cuz i cant hold the oil in (if the threads inside the oil pan are stripped)


will will jb weld will hold it? so if the threads are stripped, put the bolt in there and put jb weld all around it the sides of the bolt? sry for keep asking, thanks for everyones help

 

take it out, drain it, re-tap dye if neseasary

 

pb blast it =D

You will know if the threads are stripped IE they wont be there or will be squished down. I think your worrying too much.
