Hi all, here's the story. Due to my tight schedule I was forced to get my oil changed at a local quick lube center about 2 months ago. I asked my trusted regular mechanic, who recently did some brake work for me to do the oil change. He informed me that whoever did the last oil change, (read above) cross threaded the drain plug. I returned to the scene of the crime and they were unable to remove the plug. They are going to do me right, and fix the problem, as I was informed that I would get a new pan at their expense. The appointment has been made, and I am curious, how much time is this going to require? I have been told about 4 hours. Now I'm not paying for it, so thats a moot point, but I took a look under the vehicle and I tend to agree. This kind of work is very interesting to me, so I ask anyone who has some insight, how much work is involved here? I don't do any of my own work aside from minor maintenance, and it looks like a jungle down there. Look forward to all your replies.
