Stuck Oil Pan Drain Plug- where to get new Pan or fix?
So the drain plug in my '96 Civic Coupe EX is stuck, and 2 places have said I need a new oil pan. Where can I get one without paying $300 for an OEM? Are the $60 ones on Ebay any good? Thanks guys...bummed about paying $500 just to be able to change my oil

Me personally. I wouldn't touch ebay with a 10-foot pole and a bio-chemical suit.
How exactly did this bolt get stuck? They're only supposed to be hand-tightened.

When i had my 90 hatch the oil bolt got stripped bc of my dumb a** fault.I went to napa and they sold me a self tapping oversized bolt for my oil pan it worked great never leaked oil again.

1. A universal stopper - Dont do this!!!
2. A self taping universal drain plug - Again, Dont do this!!!!
2. Retap the Hole and use an oversize plug - This may be more annoying then its worth. Up to you.
3. Junkyard oil pan - Good option, your gonna have to pull it..... Its the junkyard experience
4. Brand new - Head over to www.RockAuto.com to get an oil pan. For your car... 1996 HONDA CIVIC EX 1.6L 1590cc L4 MFI [D16Y8] : Engine : Oil Pan Price Core Total

When my bolt was stripped i went to Autozone and bought a stripped bolt remover kit for like 10 bucks and returned it when i was done, if thats not the case u can probably pick up a used oil pan of craigslist or someshit for like 40-60 bucks

Yeah back in the day I tried one of those rubber plugs that you turn and it compresses to seal the hole. Works in theory but plan to drip oil everywhere you go. I stand by just replacing the pan.
