Last oil change I replaced the drain plug on mom's 04 Pilot. Used an AZ part that I confirmed again today was the correct thread and size. Pulling it out today it was kind of stubborn but I attributed it to being new. Went to put it back in and about the fourth pull of the socket wrench I knew something was wrong. Pulled the plug out and there was a bit of the threads on the plug...uh oh. Determined to finish the oil change since mom needed the car ASAP I ran up to AAP and bought another plug and forced it in. Last couple turns were tough, but she aint coming out again. Guess a new oil pan is in order....or maybe a mityvac? Glad I used PU, for once in my life I am going to resist the temptation to change oil at 5k.
Also did the oil change on my Vue, easy as could be. PU and a cartridge Puro classic. The computer said I had 50% left on the OCI, but I had just turned 7k on the oil and picked up this car in January from a guy that didn't change the oil enough so I am not going to stretch out OCI's.
