This is not my car, but my moms. She has been taking it to Ford for the past couple years for oil changes and tire rotations and they have generally been very good.
2009 Fusion, 3.0 V6 with 235,000 miles and the threads on the oil pan strip out while they are changing the oil on Saturday, so they install one of those temp rubber plugs. If any thing is wrong with the car she usually calls me right away. I am surprised that I did not find out until a day later when I was at my parents house for Father's Day.
I'm not very happy about this and I know I could have prevented this if I was doing the oil change myself. I would if I could, but living an hour away and the miles she drives makes it almost impossible.
Now that the damage is done, what is the best way to repair this with out replacing the oil pan?
