Anyone knows about engine oil tank plug stripped?

Jul 29, 2008 by Kaylee | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I went to change my engine oil yesterday. They told me the plug of my engine oil tank is stripped and they cannot release the old oil. Also the engine oil pressure on the pane is pretty low although the oil is full. Anyone knows what is the problem and

drill out the old plug using a left hand drill and an ez out.

they make replacement oversize plugs just for this situation.

need details on the car to answer the low pressire issue. what is mileage, make, model, etc.

Engine room oil shifted from Rena

Related Salvors make progress on submerged tank watch Rena oil pumping resumes after bad weather watch Photogallery: Rena stranded off Tauranga

Salvage teams are pumping 22 tonnes of lubricating oil out of the engine room of the stranded Rena onto the barge Awanuia.

Maritime New Zealand says the work is progressing alongside preparations to extract the remaining 358 tonnes of heavy fuel oil from the vessel's submerged starboard wing tank.

Salvage unit manager Kenny Crawford said more than 20 salvors are working on board the Rena, manhandling three tonnes of hoses, ladders and two large pumps in preparation for pumping.

One of the pumps is now in position and the other is still to be placed.

This morning the salvors who are raising the oil level in the starboard tank by pumping in 750 tonnes of seawater, temporarily halted pumping while they vented fumes escaping from the tank.

Crawford said this took several hours and pumping seawater has now resumed.
