Please help ASAP: oil drain bolt problem Seem the dealership thoroughly rounded the drain bolt. I know I can get it off one more time, but don't want to put it back on. Parts dept. is closed on Sat., so I need alternatives. AutoZone etc..have these in stock. Maybe that quick drain thing from FRAM(i think)? Any alternative bolts I can use? Going on a road trip in the morning, gotta try do this by early morning.
Anyone know the TQ specs on the drain bolt for future reference? Thanks

Re: Please help ASAP: oil drain bolt problem 18 - 20 ft lbs.
I assume you meant that the threads were stripped. There are self tapping drain plugs that are available.
Good luck.

You should be able to find this bolt anywhere like previously mentioned.
