Wal-Mart Oil Change

I work with two guys who also work part time in one of the local Wal-Mart service centers. Knowing them, I wouldn't let Wal-Mart check the air in my bicycle tires much less anything more complex.

Well, just crawled out from under the truck and finished the oil change. The drain plug was stripped near the head keeping it from tightening. I had a heli-coil on hand in case I needed it. $60 WOW! They sure are proud of it.
Anyway, put a new drain plug in and put a couple of quarts of oil in and lo and behold- no runs, no drips, no errors! So I top it off and return the heli-coil(whew).
Thanks everyone for sharing my frustration and getting me through this. Now you can kinda see why I hate working on cars nowadays.

PS. I promise I'll be more "routine" on the maintenance!
