Changing the oil this morning (at least, trying to). Nut just won’t budge. Feeling pretty fed up. Found your video! Will try this. Even if I don’t manage it, you’ve cheered me up! Thanks for your work.
this is why I never let people change my oil. I'm stuck in a similar situation on a friends vehicle. I would rather have a slow oil leak than a overtightened drain plug.
excellent video good sir❤
I totally overstand
I had this exact problem when I went to go change my oil myself. I noticed that the bolt was a little stripped, but not terribly stripped. Nothing I did could get it off, not even an impact wrench. I don’t have a torch, so I’m going to take it in and let them have some fun trying to get it off 😂
Did u get it ?
@@RastamanBuildsI want to know how much they charged him for that oil change😆
Same problem right now 😢
So i tried this method yesterday with a portable torch and it worked!!! I was able to easily remove the frozen drain bolt after heating then letting it cool for a minute. Thank you for saving the day! 😎👍🏼
😂😂😂👍🏽Awesome
For how long do you apply heat to the bolt and is there any danger of fire due to "greasy" pan? Also, would mini torch lighters work? Thanks.
Not a Jamaican but an Aruban. Nonetheless, I am here to support my fellow Caribbean brother. Nuff respect. Subscribed and liked.
Bigup my brother. I appreciate you and thanks
@@RastamanBuildsis it basically time to get a new pan if the drain plug is severely stripped?
You should invest in a extractor socket set, It saved me when I got into this situation
I did yesterday and it still wont budge. Getting tot he point where the only option is to buy an entire new oil pan. The dealership fucked mine up so bad
Simple oil change on an insignia turn into a whole drama smh but yo the way it just crack open after the heat, nuff respect very helpful
Thank you so much king. I really appreciate this video really saved me from buying a oil pan 😂
That is good news lol
Just the information i needed! I will be trying this later today!
Thank you for this fantastic video!
I don’t have a torch but I’d love to try this 😂
lol it works lol
A lot of those Chrysler drain plugs are closer to 1/2” than 13mm. People who are used to grabbing metric (or work with cheap tools and only have one set of wrenches) and don’t know this will round them a bit. I encountered one that was so bad, what was left of the bolt head was a square perhaps a hair under 3/8”… originally a 1/2” hexagon….
very true. I started with the metric. It felt snug but the plug was so tight. I was caught by surprise. I should not have started with the 12 point wrench and maybe I would have gotten it
dealing with same situation right now the guy at the lube place over tightened the bolt on the last change. The bolt is welded there. unfortunately I don't have that heater.
The torch makes all the difference
"cant be stuck if its liquid" LOL
Facts
“When they tighten these bolts they do not care”
Man i swear I’m dealing with this right now
I know how it goes
I literally just picked my fucking car up off the ground
I’m taking it back to the dealership and making whoever put it on there take it off and fix it. I’m so fed up
Thank you man! ❤
Last time I had this I used my biggest breaker bar and all 18 stone of me and alot of swear words. I was taught get it tight then a quarter of a turn iv never had a leak yet 😂
lol
Don’t use “Mister Oil Change” in El Paso Texas
Most regular people don’t have a torch 😂
You can buy a small portable torch with propane tank for less than $30.
🤷🏻♂️
Knowledge is key
Facts
Just bought a used Durango time for oil change plug stuck like this rounded head a bit went to vise grips tapping on bolt ...i don't think heat is good here since these are plastic composite oil pan not steel... boy am I pissed I believe the dealer i bought it from did the last service and it seems all the folks who think they're work alot of money per hour are only lazy enough to use impact tools on every damn bolt
You can still use heat. Use a heat gun or a hair drier and get the drain plug warm. That plastic is designed to resist engine heat. I would use a propane torch like what plumbers use and just be quick with my hand not staying in one spot too long and focusing on the drain plug
Thankyou so much . I learned something today
I'm so glad! Thx for watching
Will using an acetylene blow gun damage the threads of the drain plug and oil box? Or is there no problem?
I do not get it molten. Just Hot
Gonna give this a try on rear differential atv drain plug .
I'm dealing with this problem right now. Unfortunately, I don't have a torch and even if I did, I wouldn't aim it at my oil pan
They over tighten the plugs so that you can’t do it yourself and have to take it in cause they want your money
BS I have 2019 Toyota Corolla le and this happen to me today smh 🤦♂️
One of my biggest pet peeves
its upsetting for sure. There is no need. and its the lazy people who do it
You told me to come here and subscribe… so hear I am
Yeamannnnn
lol hahaha and I appreciate you so very much for the support. I really do THANKS
Yeah man.
Thtat my problem now.
But i dont have that tool.
Can i take it off with a impact gun or will it ruin it ?
Impact gun is not recommended, it might damage the threads both on the bolt and the oil pan.
Love the accent...
😁thx
You crazy!!!! Using extreme flam under an engine full of oil!! You lucky it didn’t explode in your face 😂
They used too many ugga duggas on the bolt. I have the strenght of the tisms (truth) i cannot break it free.
notice how the dude is staying calm, despite being criticized.
Good morning. I am not perfect in all I do…hahahahaha ask my wife lol
Link to the proper tightening procedure please.
17 ft lbs
They didn’t expect it to ever get another oil change!
😂you see how tight that was😂😂an impact did that
@@RastamanBuildshow does someone use an impact on a drain plug? I stripped the threads on an oil pan at work the other day. Went to torque the plug and the most random sneeze fit came out of nowhere and made me push past the 25 ft/lbs click and sheared all the threads out of the pan. BY HAND...
Heat
Will a lighter work for this ?
Could happen maybe kinda
Would an impact help or maybe snap it off?
The design of the bolt head is so shallow that it will not survive the abuse. It will round off
Most oil pans are aluminum too, an impact can crack the casing and then you have to replace the whole pan.
I have a white smoke when I start my car in the morning, any solutions?
Does it go away after the car warms up? If not it could be worn piston rings.
@@tynewlin yes. After 5 seconds it goes away. I have 200000km.
Valve stem seals is the first thing that comes to mind
@@RastamanBuilds thanks.
Not a good idea. There are so many safer and easier ways to get these bolts out. Usually fine but there is a risk of starting present leaking fluids on fire. Not to mention he just burnt the paint off that oil pan
Thanks for the tip
Ok so how would you do it
I saw another video where the chap uses a hydrolic jack , he puts the jack at the base of the wrench 🔧, with the wrench sitting at an angle whereby when lifting the jack it will allow the wrench to move in open direction, car has to obviously be on the ground and not a lift.
@@anwaaradams7869 just did this for my car, worked on the first try 💯
Michael Jackson
Bruh ur wrench was longer then the ratchet. Ur definitely only a oil change tech
Yes thats me. I still appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment
@@RastamanBuilds Great answer to that dutty joncrow
Nope sorry
Mines all stripped and nothing will grip it right 😑
