It is always better to restore the stripped drain pan back to its original size with a steel insert.

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.

Replacing stripped radiator drain plug on ford windstar?

To replace a stripped radiator drain plug on a Ford Windstar, first ensure the vehicle is cool and safely lifted.

Clean the threads in the drain hole, and install a new drain plug, ensuring it is properly sealed with thread sealant or Teflon tape. Finally, refill the radiator with coolant and check for leaks.


Which way do I turn the oil plug in order to drain the oil in a 2006 dodge charger because my plug on my freshly bought car is stripped and is it easy to get a new one if it becomes stripped?

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.

You have a few options. I it is not stripped just replace the gasket. If the threads are stripped or cross threaded, you need to have it repaired at a welding shop. They can easily fix this problem. Purchase a new drain plug and seek out a good shop.


How do you replace oil drain plug in 1972 Volkswagen beetle?

Easy. Unscrew it with the appropriate socket wrench (17mm I think). If you mean replace a stripped plug, then fortunately on an aircooled VW engine, the entire oil drain plate can be replaced. These can be easily be ordered and it comes with a new plug in the center and is attached with 6 srcews on the periphery (not included, reuse the old ones.) Don't over torque the plug or the plate screws!
