stripped bolt head
stripped the bolt head... That's broken enough for me. ...granted, I wasn't wearing rubber gloves so that was probably the real issue I thought I knew how to fix cars until I learned about finer things called torque wrenches. After rotating the tires on my (then) '87 MR2, I tested the grip by driving ...mph down a freeway only to have 3 bolts snap off all at the same time. The one bolt that hung on saved my life. Torque wrenches are the beginning of tools you'll need if you repair your vehicle yourself. Agreed.

Didn't break mine, but I did replace it. It started to get rounded off and had the painted crush washer corroded on causing leaks even with a fresh one stacked on, so $2 later at Subaru I got a new one. When I bought a fresh oil pan from Toyota, it came with a drain plug bolt... and a painted on washer .

Nothing against fumoto, but never had an issue with an oil pan bolt on numerous cars and 100s of oil changes.
With a fumoto valve you are at risk of a gang of anarchists that go around with a special tool opening fumoto valves on parked cars, just because. |

Only special tool needed with the FuMoto is a low deck height trolley jack.
That'd be a bit noisy and conspicuous. Don't park with one side up on the curb?
