What thread is loosed, is it on the plug or on the tank?

Just replace the plug if it is the one then replace the gasket.

there are available replacement oversized drain plugs aftermarket. the other option is to take it to a machine shop and rethread to the next npt (national pipe thread) size and use an oversized drain plug matching the new drain plug hole. next time, do not overtorque the drain plug, snug it with a six inch box wrench

maraming salamat po sa inyong 2. i think the loose thread is on the tank.

We call it oil pan.
Madalas nagyayari yan kasi over tighten ng lube boys.
Tama si Jick you can machine, you can also buy a new or a good surplus.
Stand by mo na before your next oil change.

Thx everyone.

Hello! I had my oil change sa Shell Station lang (first time outside of CASA) and they said that its ok to reuse the drain plug and gasket during the oil change. This is when I ask them diba you should replace the gasket before you screw it back? I'm worried since reading posts here that you should change the gasket every oil change. Will it really result to loose thread down the road or succeeding oil changes?

I think it's highly probable that he bent the oil pan kung doon niya na jack yun kotse, tingin ko sira na yun butas ng oil pan

I’d say, replace the oil pan including the plug. You should at least try to seek compensation from the towing company.

Any mechanic worth his salt knows that the oil pan cannot bear the weight of the whole front end. It can deform the oil pan or destroy the engine mounts.

You can put a jack under it (with a block of wood) to lift the engine, but definitely not the whole front end of the vehicle.

Or at least learn how to jack up your car properly and how your tires are changed. In the case of my wife, she cannot physically change the tires but there will always be tambays or someone nearby who you can pay to do the task for you and knowing how to will help you guide that person to do it properly
