Update: Oil Drain Plug Drip

[Donne Trav]

After contemplating how to handle the above situation, I had a
brainstorm. I would drain the oil (only 3 weeks old), check out the
plug and pan. Those threads near the bolt head that allow for tightening were worn as a result of the trainees used at the Chevy dealer that changed the oil 3 changes ago, over-tightening the bolt, causing the "wiggle" and not being able to tighten. So I decided to double up on the metal washers. Hence, no wiggle and no drip as of yet. So I'm going to give myself a thumbs up. Incidentally, changing the oil has got to be the messiest job ever. WOW! :W

Good Job! And yes it's a messy job. I still do about 4 cars so you do get neater as time goes by. Sometimes I see if I can do it without getting a drop on the garage floor. I think this happened once in 30 years so far. :L
I always use a little silicone around the seal of the bolt for a little more assurance of no drips.
