Hey gang,
I got family member that had an unfortunate over-tightening of their oil drain bolt at a quick-lube. It's stripped pretty good, but the bolt is still removable. It's on a Camry and the bolt size is M12-1.25. I suggested we could try an oversized self-tapping oil drain plug bolt before we go to the trouble of replacing the oil pan; however, I've never used one of these products. Since the original is M12-1.25 would I just be looking for an S.O. M12-1.25 self-tapping bolt like this option from Dorman? I'm assuming the same washers fit too?
Thanks
