Aluminum oil pans use a heli-coil oil drain plug thread which may "backout" of the oil pan when the drain plug is removed. If the heli-coil "backs out", it
stretches and is not reuseable. To correct this, order the Rotunda Repair Kit, 107-00908, and install a new heli-coil following the service procedures
inside the kit.
