Did they do the last one for ya? If so, take it back and have them do it. If they say you need to buy a new bolt, tell them they were the last ones to mess with it, so they should be fixing it, provided you have teh reciept from the last oil change.

yeah they did, and i have the receipt also
 
that's very easy to fix, vise grip the old bolt off, get a new nut and gasket, and done


some oil change places replace worn oil drain bolts for free
 
I edited the title a little. I hope you don't mind too much...just want to keep the thread titles as PG-13 as possible.

yeah, but i will be making the dealer fix that as they were who messed it up
 
by the looks of it, i would rather just take the bolt out myself and put a new one in instead of taking it back to the place who did that, lol...

yeah i also tried to remove it but looks like they put some blue thread locker (if it is the permanent one), i tried for 3 hours to remove that b**** so i can change my 5k used oil...
 
that looks more like tamper seal than thread lock, just get a good grip and give it a good smack
 
DO NOT take it out yourself. Make them do it. See if you can be there and watch. The amount of goop on it could mean that they stripped the threads out of the pan. Seen that happen a couple times with pans, especially aluminum ones.

yeah, they'll have to fix that.... (whip)
 
Take it to them. If you have to pay for the bolt, just pay for it. Principle sucks, but dealers will give you the run around. I worked for one for a little. They DO NOT like to fix stuff.

Also, you have issues. A simple thread title would have been sufficient for most people, but you had to add the "anally raped" in there. (first) funny (thumb)
