Was changing my oil tonight and when i was putting my drain plug in i now noticed it spins in place....the oil pan threads are stripped. I wasnt even tightening it......

I gotta thing this fixed ASAP. This there any options besides replacing the pan?

Help......

i have been reading and some people say it may not be the pan but the bolts itself....

You can re-tap it and use a different sized bolt....but you would need to get ALL the metal shavings out

go to the dealer and get a new drain plug. iirc its a F75Z-6730-BA. very rarely have i ever seen a stock oil pan on a 4.6 strip, its almost always the plug.
