I have a stripped oil drain plug and can not get it off. (any suggestion?? please no vise grips I tried just ripping it apart!) so I might have to replace the oil pan. my question is what oil pan can I use a dx, lx anything like that I have a 2001 civic ex 5sp????

 

Monkey wrench.

EX pans are aluminum, and the LX/DX's are steel (if memory serves me right).

 

but will it fit?

 

Will what fit?

 

the oil pan

 

Are you trying to run a steel one on your car? If so, then I believe it does. However, I wouldn't run a steel one unless you absolutely desire one.

 

well there a $300 difference in price im fine with a steel one

 

If head is stripped, just get a nut welded on plug to try removing.
