you could always get a new oil pan. ask the dudes at the junkyard for one... and install that when you change the oil.

believe its either M12x1.25.... but double check.
I know M10 bolts have a 14mm head, so thinking M12 should correspond to the 17mm head. Pitch fairly certain cuz my friend bought a bolt at autozone (think he got 1.5) but it wanst right and got a smaller pitch that fit.

i can agree with 14mm...and also the vice should work...but you can also "torch" it and then it'll be easier to turn with a vice
