Messed up my gf's 2007 Denali when doing an oil change - HELLLLP

[Jason in DLH]

well that turned interesting
when op first posted his question i left it go as same answers i would give were already being posted. i happen to notice its at 6 tabs now over a stripped oil pan bolt so im wtf is going on in there. and it went from that to causing blindness in one eye. @Jason in DLH spartan bro god gave you a spare. that sucks tho

And we are off in the weeds. I wonder if the OP got out of his mess.

Sorry folks..got a tad off topic there.

@jbluemke ....you ever get around fixing your threads?

By the way, I had a role to play in the deviation from the topic.

Doing everything I can to pass the time until we find out what happens with this drain plug. We have done all we can I’m afraid.

Well, I'm apparently an idiot. She's been having nothing but trouble with this truck since she got it and I was giving it an oil change. All was seemingly fine until 3 to 4 weeks later when the "low oil" light came on.

I don't know if it was me or the drain plug I ordered off amazon that "fits your 2007 denali" but doesnt.

She took it to a place to get another oil change or to see what was wrong with it. They said that the drain plug was stuck/misthreaded/cockeyed (I forget) and they would have to replace the whole oil pan for like $400-$600 - so now I feel like a POS.

Is there ANYYYY way to fix this??? PLEASE say yes!! I feel so bad. Thank you for the help!!

These pics show all that you need to do to fix the drain plug problem. Who knew that a spark plug had so many uses. After all, it is a “plug”.
