I'm looking for someone that has purchased a 14mm X 1.5 Helicoil kit and would like to recoup some of their money. I need the tap and at least one coil insert as well as the coil installer piece.

Oil drain plug has stripped out.

 

blame it on the torque-happy techs.

 

That sucks that happened to me too
I dont have the coils but you can buy an oversizrd drain plug from an auto parts store. They are self tapping

 

just go one size larger with a tap and get a larger bolt. problem solved!

 

I don't even have the drain plug out yet, but I can tell that it's going to strip out. All previous oil changes have been done at the dealer. It is so tight that I cracked the socket I was using and rounded the edges of the bolt. I will probably have to use a small pipe wrench just to get it out. All previous oil changes have been done at the dealer. I called them and told them that it was so tight that I couldn't even get it out and they started making excuses and said that sometimes it just happens. They said to bring it in, but it's 120 miles away and everytime I've been there something bad happens. Last time I was there the tech broke my seat elevator lever. When I showed the MA what they did he took it back into the shop and they replaced it. I get back in my car and look down and damn if it isn't still broken. So I get my MA back out in the car and he say's "what the hell? They replaced the good one." The broken one was still laying in the passenger floor board! So they replaced the other one, but now the cap on the first one they replaced keeps falling off. I will not be making that drive ever again. I'm going to fix it with a helicoil kit and then install a Fumoto valve so it doesn't happen again.
