Engine Flushes - HELP ASAP
!HELP! ASAP
So today, i was going to do an oil change on my 98 civic so before i did that, i put some Motomaster Formula1 Engine Flush treatment in to mix with the oil and let it idle for 5min so i could get rid of some of the sludge buildup inside. My oil drain bolt is apparently completely stripped and now i can't drain the oil and on the Engine Flush treatment, it says DO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. I know this is kinda a stupid question but is it okay to drive it 5min to a nearby shop so they can take the stripped bolt off and avoid towing charges..or should i go on the safe side and tow it?
or does anyone have any ideas how i can take the stripped bolt off without having to replace the oil pan?
