I almost always change my own oil in my 08 F150 5.4. But before I went on vacation in July, I let Walmart change it (should have known better) cause I didn't find the time. Today I started to change oil for 1st time since Walmart. I had a little trouble with oil plug. When I got it out, it was covered with loctite & will not tighten back up in the pan. I'm gonna try new plug 1st. But if its the oil pan stripped out, is there a fix for that without installing a new pan?

Thanks for your help. I'll check back in a little while after I call Walmart and GO OFF!!!

 

Time for me to eat crow. False alarm. Turned out to be the plug stripped instead of the pan. No way I thought I would get that lucky. But now I gotta brag on Walmart a little. When I called to tell em what had happened, the guy who stripped it out don't work there anymore. Imagine that. The tire/lube manager came to my house (about 10 miles) with a couple oil plugs. New plug tightened up good. Thanks for the help.
