Parts off of pelicanparts.com for oil change - $17

Car jack - $70

Torque wrench - $40

9qts oil - $42

Number of curse words after realising the oil drain screw is stripped - 5

So yeah, any recommendations on how to remove the stripped oil drain screw? I'm at a loss.

How to remove stripped drain plug?

Doh. Nice thread, and I did try hammering in the larger size torx bit but it pretty much made it worse. But I think the screw extractor should work...now I just need to find a place that sells them.

Try Sears or a well stocked hardware store. BTW Where do you get your oil? $42 for 9 quarts is a good price.

Castrol Non synthetic 10w-40@$4.68/qt, not the high mileage one. Castrol GTX I think it's called.

They had royal purple at Advance Auto Parts, but they only had 5w-30@$6.50/qt, same with Quaker state. I like both those oils but didn't want to use 5w-30.
