stripped oil plug

[rhino1957]

the problem with the tape is it could easily loosen if you lose the plug on the trail you would be SOL, I would try to get it fixed soon

thats what im worried about, but it's been like that for a long time. I'm going to get it fixed as soon as I can

Slight sidetrack,
Remember those industrial engines that wouldn't start unless they had oil pressure?

I wonder if there's a way to have that option?

In the true spirit of survival, I've taken to pouring the oil OUT the filler tube
and just forget about the drainplugs altogether.
Knowing what I do, there's probably a good reason not to do it that way.
I guess it would matter more if the plugs were magnetic and needed to be cleaned off.

I remember doing an engine r&r in a couple hrs and then spending 6 HOURS on a
stripped drainplug so I hate them with all my heart.
The vehicle owner did his own oil change and then brought it to US knowing
it was screwwwed but didn't bother to tell us.
