  • stripped oil plug

    i was trying to do u tune up on my ride when i found that my oil plug was stripped i tried that gator grip wrench tool from walmart for 14 bucks, and it worked like a charm. so remember befor u think about cutting ,chiseling,vice grips or an auto shop try that.just in case anyone else runs into that problem.

        Fram Sure drain works great, but I took a zip-ties around the tubing and the collar of the drain attachment, as when it gets covered in oil it tended to slip right off. With a Zip-tie it stays in place like Fram *should* have made it.
