Thanks for the replies guys, I stopped at an auto parts place on my way to work and they gave me another plug that is "oversized that will rethread the pan, they just warned me not to go to fast or tight because if the pan is aluminum it's crack it and I'll need a new pan regarless. Is this route too risky? Or is there a safer way? One of the ways y'all mentioned?
