funny you should metion that. A buddy of mine suggested I do that, because I went to change the oil today and found the plug totally stripped. Tried the oversized plug and all it did was make things worse....the hole is bigger, the new plug wont stay in and the old plug just pushes right into the hole. I kinda thing the guy gave me the wrong oversized plug but its too late now. I've already got a new pan on the way so I'll let the car sit for a week and I'll get it good and buttoned up next week.
