Can I replace a stripped oil pan plug in 1992 Toyota Camry?
If the threads on the drain plug are stripped and the pan threads are good, you can just replace the drain plug. More often though, the threads in the oil pan that the drain plug screws into are what get stripped. If it's the oil pan, there are still a number of pretty simple options: There are oversized plugs you can buy, rethreading kits with inserts or self-tapping plugs. And there are rubber expanding plugs that are almost foolproof. It is your choice as to how you want to fix it. Go to your local auto parts store and look at your options. Whatever you do, do not use a silicone sealer to fix it.

The plug unscrews by turning it counter-clockwise. Take the stripped plug to a good auto parts store. There are oversized, self-tapping plugs available, but they will need to match yours up to the correct replacement.

How to Repair stripped oil drain plug on 2003 Cadillac CTS?
Is it just the oil plug that's stripped or is it the oil pan? If it's only the plug, get a new one from the dealer or a local part store (they are quite cheap). If it's your oil pan, then that's a pain. You'll probably have to put in a self tapping oversized plug or replace the oil pan. I would stay away from those cheap rubber oil plug replacement kits that fit in with a plastic screwdriver.
