Tap and die my friend, some Amsoil (not really just wanna see who throws a sissy fit). Honestly if you dont want to bother with it until your next OC, RTV the plug (you could use threadlocker but itll be one helluva party gettin it off) and cover the sh*t out of it with aluminium tape or gorilla tape. Teflon tape might work as well.

The oil plug is hollow so if and when if breaks you can insert a hex head socket and lefty loosy it off. Mine broke last oil change.

Right on bud, it just entertains me when somebody goes off "he suggested Amsoil, the product he sells, he needs to be banned!" seriously though stay on topic. ProfessorX5 if you do go for a quick oil change, try to go to a tire shop the guys there usually do a better job.

I think you misunderstand. So far there hasn't been real anger though I am at the point of disgust which is getting close.

My message to you---I think you can easily be far more respectful of the forum and the members, of yourself and the products you represent. I would like you to seriously consider the input that your approach, even if within the forum guidelines, may be seriously flawed.

Yes, my comments are always off topic simply because there is never a time it will be the topic of a thread as that would not be fair to you. Any time I have responded to you or a post of yours it has been done reluctantly and accepting it is shame on both of us.

I have said all I have to say and more than I should have said. I will leave it in the hands of the moderators. I apologize to any OP that has been offended by either of us. And apologize to anything that has offended you.

I would be happy to accept your friend request if it can be done with mutual respect.

Yeah definitely stay away from any and all "quick lube" joints if you care about your vehicle at all.
