I am trying to remove the drain plug (ofcourse first time oil change) by using
14mm wrench, but it's not loosen at all, even i use lot of force. I am trying to loosen the plug in the clock wise direction.

am i doing something wrong.....please help me.
(the plug was tightned by the dealer)

 

Ummm...righty-tighty lefty-loosey?

 

WD-40? it cant be THAT tight

 

Clockwise is correct... (i.e. lefty-loosey). Just get a rubber mallet and tap the rachet/wrench and it will break loose. Most likely it's just overtightened. Or get a breaker bar and a 14mm socket...

 

^lol, but if you can't get it out at all, take it to the dealer and tell them to loosening for you.

 

Counter clockwise is to loosen it.

 

...Are you serious?

...you've already got your answer, I'm just wondering whether or not you're serious about this question.

 

c'mon guys.

 

you need muscles

 

lefty loosey... you have to turn it left... meaning oppsite of the clock's hand movements... like 12...11...10...9... last time i checked... that's counter-clock wise...

 

I don't think he should be working on his car at all.



Please step away from the vehicle and go directly to a quick lube center from now on.



I can't even imagain whats gonna happen when he gets to the oil filter.

I am having trouble deciding if this thread is a joke or not?

 

Get your ratchet, turn the switch to 'off ' No thinking then!
Better yet, use your impact wrench!

This is where I answered this duplicate thread 7hrs. ago . . .

 

Lol mine was a 13mm....

 

i hope hes not loosening the bolt on the tranny pan

 

wtf... you gotta be kidding...
lol

 

Counter-clockwise. when in doubt, take your right hand point your fingers towards the sky. Curl your fingers in a counterclockwise direction and your thumb points "out" toward you. If you turn your arm and curl your fingers in a clockwise direction your thumb points "in" as in a bolt going into a hole. Difficult to explain on paper, but before you go using a breaker bar or impact you better know know what direction to turn it.

 

There should not be more than one person on this site that doesn't know how to losen a f&ckin bolt...
If you losen it counter-clockwise and it doesn't come off-take it to a shop and tell them to hand tighten it because they should not tighten an oil bolt with an airtool...

 

This thread is getting dumber and dumber with wrong info everywhere but I can stop reading on for some reason ...

 

wow what is with this thread? i want my last min back that i wasted

 

I've seen mechanics use impact wrenches to install drain plugs at the local 10min oil change joint.

 

Then you better stay far away from that place, thats the stupidest thing ive heard anyone doing in a while. the damn things are only supposed to be like max 30 ft lbs. Using an impact wrench would clearly rip the threads right out of the pan. -Ryan

 

Even if the limit is 10 minutes, it takes 2 seconds to screw on with your hands and an extra sec to tighten. The pan is extremely thin compaired to the rest of the car. Just wait til they strip it with the impact.

 

It is clockwise if you are looking down from above thru the engine.

 

ITS NEVER CLOCKWISE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unless your small enough to fit inside your oil pan and see it rotate outwards or have xray vision from the drivers side

 

technically you COULD loosen it turning it clockwise...I just dont recommend that way, cause then u might need a press of some sort....oooorrrr be smart and invest ina breaker bar for future expierences such as that

 

this tread is crazy

 

Seriously, how do you get to your drain plug from the top of the engine bay? You guys are just confusing the poor kid.

 

nahhhhhh he'll get it lol. it takes practice, oh and while ur under there make sure ur horn fluid and blinker fluid are good to go, I hate when mine run out.




just playin man.

 

have you all realized that the kid ask a dumb question and left you all to fight over it, but if he was serious.............THATS ONE DUMB@$$ KID!!!!
i cant possibly see how someone can not loosen that bolt no matter how tight it is, use ur head bro, try something, ir else u will just continue being a wasted batch of sperms.

 

its not really a batch, it only takes one....

 

thanks for the correcting, then he's a wasted sperm lol

 

Drill a 1/2 inch hole into the bottom of your oil pan. (Do not remove drain bolt because it is welded shut at the factory). Once oil starts pouring on the ground, immediately tap oil filter with large mallet. This will loosen all solids in the filter. Sometimes a sawzall will be needed to remove the oil filter. Remember to put sawzall in reverse to loose the filter. Once oil and shavings are on ground, flush out oil system with cold tap water. This water will cool your bearings and prep them for the new oil. Finally tape closed the hole you just drilled into oil pan and add 5 qts of 75w-90 gear lube to crankcase. Thicker is always better. Just think of when you eat pancakes...thicker syrup taste better right?
Now fire up the engine and hold at redline.

That's it! Your done.

 

way to welcome someone to the forum....

 

i love it!
