It's clear that an impact was took to it with the socket probably half on or with an ill fitting sae. Either way, still horseshit when something as simple as an oil change can get fubared. This is something I would expect from Crappy Tire or a 16 year-old who just got their first car and is learning to wrench.
Anyways, I ended up ordering the Fumoto Valve. It's actually called the EZoildrain Valve here in Canada. I'll be looking forward to reviewing it.

This is why I like doing my own oil changes because i know I'm doing it right and draining all the oil etc...people at the shops don't care...it's just a job to them....unfortunately we don't live in Japan where many places have a lot of passion.

I stopped going to the dealer after my second "free" change because they spilled oil all over the top of the engine and engine bay, didn't say anything about it, and didn't respond when I replied to their "how'd we do" email and survey with honest answers about how they did (they also took 6 hours instead of the quoted 2). There's still a few little puddles of oil on top of the engine where I can't get a rag in to suck them up.
So then I went to do the next change at home and found the drain plug was put on so damned tight, there was no way I could get it loose. I wound up damaging a socket AND rounding off the plug trying to get it off. I had to use vise grips and a hammer to get it to turn! I had already gotten a Fumoto valve, which I installed as soon as I got the factory one out. The valve is awesome! I just slip a short piece of tubing on it and snake that into my drain pan. |

This. It's actually sad so few people these days take pride in what they do. I've known some great mechanics in my life, but they are getting harder and harder to find these days. It's especially insulting when you go to a dealership these days and their labor rate is $75-100 an hour and you still can't trust them! I'm seriously considering getting my own lift installed in my garage just for this reason.

I would agree that an impact gun was used at one point. or the tech repeatedly tried to remove the bolt as if it was flat on the bottom of the drain pan and not at the slight angle its actually on and stripped it over several oil changes. Quote:

The paint part is from the fact that the oil pan was painted after the drain bolt/washer was installed. -alex |

I don't think they loosened it with one. I think some knuckle dragger put it back on with one.

if you look at how the bolt is being stripped, its from loosening.

Same exact situation from my car when I first got it at 48k miles, previous owner never touched it, seemed to have always been at dealers, bolt was entirely rounded...It took me multiple gimmicky "stripped-nut/bolt" remover solutions to get to my first oil change

That’s F’ing unbelievable, and dealership techs did that! I’ve actually found tools that were left behind by dealership techs, and just random stuff. I know it’s a tough job and they are working on lots of cars, but damn have a little more pride in your work. A good buddy of mine is a lifelong mechanic and he owns his own shop now. I know he would never dream of doing that kind of stuff. I’m always very skeptical of any dealership maintenance. The sad thing is most people don’t even look over the work, or even know what to look for. And some things are just blind faith if they have to replace something internal. I remember way back when the 1st gear synchro had to be replaced on my 2002 WRX. I asked to see the old one, just because I was curious. The service advisor was really cool and seemed like a car guy also, so he let me look at the parts they replaced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
