Two questions.
1. Oil drain plug is strip out, how to fix?Replace the $280.00 dollar oil pan :censor: or use helix coil {sp} to fix.I got the plug in but I cant get it tight so a steady drip. :cuss:
2. Has any one else had this problem with their Tribute/Escape 3.0L engine?
What happen is the Steel oil plug pulled the threads out of the aluminum oil pan.I would say use antisize on the oil plug to help with this problem. JMO
