another tip when grinding/cutting a bolt put a nut on first then once you make your cut unscrew the nut it will align the threads

@NikosKatsikanis 3 года назад

legit

@nickv4073 7 лет назад

I have two Hondas. I installed Fumoto drain valves on both of them. One time permanent install. No worries about stripping. Neither has leaked so much as a drop in 4 years. No tools needed for draining oil. Great product.

@msiddi01 4 года назад

I have already stripped my threads on my 2005 odyssey and it now has a slow leak. Does FUMOTO make oversized valves so I can re-thread and also enjoy the convenience of never having to remove the plug again? If they do, what size/model should I be buying? Thnx.

@axjohn 3 года назад

@@msiddi01 yes. Depending on what size plug your car uses just check their website for one that’s larger and tap for that size. My 2006 Ridgeline uses an M14x1.5x14mm length. Maybe yours does too. Then you could go with an M16x1.5 Fumoto valve if they sell one.

Where you get it from

@MrXMasterTrader 2 года назад

It didn't work for me. It is only about 2 circles of thread more than the original and didn't hold well. The Dorman# 090-164 is much better, 10 more circles of thread.

told my mechanic about options of longer bolt to catch deeper threads, retap helicoil, or oversized bolt...he went with a spark plug! hahaha

@chetmyers7041 2 года назад

6:30 Run a nut all the way onto the bolt before you cut it, and when you remove it, you are re-forming the thread at the cutoff point.

@lassei4659 9 лет назад

Next time screw a nut all the way on the bolt, then cut it/ grind it / saw it. Then you unscrew the nut from the bolt, that way you are making sure that there is a desent thread and no pointy sharp spoons. = nut comes of, nut can be screwed on ;)

@AwesomenessIskey 8 лет назад

I usually tighten my oil pans tight but not enough to strip them. Last time I took it off, I used a 1/2 breaker bar, and I thought I went the wrong way and stripped it but I got lucky. Nothing worse than stripped bolts on a block/oil pan/bleeder screw. When its hot, it tends to wanna fuse, thats why you wanna get it close to the correct torque, especially with aluminum

@olenaerhardt7725 Год назад

I partly stripped the Drain Hole in the Transmission. It holds a new magnetic Plug I put there on ~11Ft-lbs, and torque required is 22 Ft-lbs. No leeks right now. I even don't know or to leave how it is, or it will develop leaks later, since the torque is 1/2 what is needed, so tighten it more. I would appreciate if you could give your opinion on this matter. I saw at the end of the film you snugged the bolt. Can you tell what is the approximate torque there. Thank you for the informative film.

@hondatrix 3 года назад

A much better way is to get a long M15 x 1,5mm bolt, cut a groove into the end, put some grease of Vaseline in the groove and screw it into the oil pan...slowly and straight. Do it until it goes all the way and then clean the threaded oil pan hole with carb cleaner..then you can cut off the longer grooved part of the bolt so it just passes through the thread in the drain hole, put a washer on ...viola.

@scottreynolds4895 Год назад

mercedes benz uses m14x1.5 drain plug just like honda but the one for mersedes is longer, just what you need. if instead of going to the hardware store you had gone to an auto parts store you would had got the right replacement plug.

@ethanvadnais6803 7 лет назад

@rezo786 7 лет назад

i dont understand. was the BOLT or the SUMP thread damaged? u used the same diameter bolt?

@mkrp4 7 лет назад

The thread is damaged because: -- old drain plug seal washer is reused and tighten too much -- new drain plug washer is placed incorrectly on the bolt (flat side of the washer should go toward the engine, "rounded" side of the washer goes toward the drain plug's head). -- aftermarket aluminum washer with T6 temper is used (should be T4 or softer) -- factory torque (27 to 29 foot pounds) seems to be too much. How to prevent the thread stripping: -- reinstall plug after engine oil pan is cooled down (about 30 degrees C) -- if new washer is not available, smear Ultrablue Permatex RTV (which expands when exposed to oil) on the area where threads meet the washer, making 2-3 mm fillet, then reinstall the bolt; maximum torque to be 18 foot pound -- reduce torque to 22 foot pound max when new washer is used -- do NOT change oil too often :)

@scouncil2028 2 года назад

@MrOatmeal5150 9 лет назад

Another great video! A tip for you and your friend, in case you guys weren't aware already. So the Odyssey's and Accords of this era are notorious for having transmission failure. Turns out, they have no filter and only use 3.5 quarts for a drain and fill! (No wonder they fail). The forums recommend a drain and fill at every oil change. There are people who have done this since day one and have over 300k miles on the original Odyssey transmission! At work, we've also brought a couple back from the dead by just doing a drain and fill, run it for a little while, then drain and fill again, a few times. A slipping seemingly no good trans, magically running like new and still going!

@50sKid 9 лет назад

Thank you very much! I've actually heard about the transmission problem--the one on this vehicle has been replaced once already. I've never heard or read about the actual cause of the problem or even what the symtoms are (just slipping gears?), however I think I'm gonna have to look into it further. I think a transmission service is an easy thing to do for peace of mind, no doubt.

@philp8168 8 лет назад

but doing it every time you change your oil is a little extreme depending on how often you change your motor oil. for me I change my oil every 12000 miles so in that case I could see me changing my transmission fluid at the same time because I only drive 9500 miles a year. 90% of that is free way

@philp8168 8 лет назад

+bep2001 kumar but I don't make it to 12000 I change my oil once a year so typically every 9600 miles is when I change my oil

@johnferguson7235 8 лет назад

+MrOatmeal5150 There are a couple good videos about removing the trans fluid by disconnecting the cooler line and pumping it out a quart at a time by running the engine a few seconds. Then top off and repeat until the fluid is clean coming out. Always use Honda original fluid. It is NOT the same as standard transmission fluid because Honda transmissions have an unusual design. I do a drain and fill at every oil change and a complete flush at 70,000 when I replace timing belt.

@philp8168 8 лет назад

John Ferguson I've been using royal purple max atf for about a year now in my honda civic and my shifts are better then when I was using the genuine honda ATF. From my experience as long as your using a fluid that is compatible with honda ATF-Z1. You should be just fine.

@rexanderson5458 5 лет назад

Get a oil drain plug insert kit. You may need a large drill. A Big-sert kit may be better. It has a steel insert. Lisle has a kit that might work. A steel insert is better. A 14x 1.25 Sava-A-Thread kit may do if yours is that size.

@daand12 8 лет назад

Got the hole stripped so far that i wasn't able to screw the drain plug back in :). Drilled the old threads out, retapped and installed a helicoil. The engine itself is known as a 139qmb chinese engine and the aluminium is really soft. I did a Engine rebuild last week and found a puddle of oil after just 1 night and replaced the bolt from another engine which still caused a tiny bit of oil leakage and till today i went ahead and used a soft copper ring after installing Heli Coil and shortened the bolt using a hacksaw. Sure enough and no drip of oil under the engine ( I think 1 drip every week or so ) Running 5w30/5w40 now.

Hey man love all your videos (specifically your E46 diy's). I was trying to do my oil change and once i broke the bolt free and started to try and take it out it just kept spinning.

@50sKid 8 лет назад

+Quincy Longman Ouch. Surprised that this would happen to the E46 as it's a steel pan. I'm sorry I don't know the thread count but it seems to me the most important thing is to get it out first. Good luck!

@quincylongman7469 8 лет назад

+50sKid thanks a bunch!

@batman3698 Год назад

Thanks, I'm gonna do this on my D16V1 which some nutcase seems to have also impact gunned. Now I am a little bit worried about the fact that the bolt seems to bottom out on your V6 instead of threading clean trough. Mine seems to be in a similar position where it's following the "floor" of the oil pan. But it would be nice as a last resort to be able to get one of the m15x1.5 rethread kits with spare plugs. But if the thread tap doesn't have room on the back side it seems difficult to rethread. Fingers crossed the long bolt approach works first though.

@3712bigboy 3 года назад

The mercedes oil plug works the one with the 13mm head it's same Threads just longer thank me later this happens alot. People try and change their own oil then take it to Walmart and hope they don't notice so they can blame them. The main reason they get a bad reputation in my opinion

@ishunlimted 7 лет назад

Hey @50skid. Great video. Literally doing he same thing todau for an 05 odyssey. If that 40mm bolt isn't bottoming out is it safe to use it without cutting (i.e have you seen the inside of the pan/know the location of any pumps or parts it might interfere with?)

@50sKid 7 лет назад

I haven't seen the inside yet. It very well may be ok (if annoying).

@ishunlimted 7 лет назад

@50sKid 7 лет назад

The part of the pan where the bolt screws into is lower than the rest of the pan--so the bolt hits the fold in the pan.

50sKid how long did you make the plug? How much of the 45 did you cut off? I have a 30 I’d like to use. I wonder if that length bolt would hit the fold in the pan. Thanx

@plumbix88 8 лет назад

the length of the screw it's the reason why it cut the thread. i don't think it the original screw. it's well known that the thread length has to be 1.5xdiameter. so for the m14 you need at least 21mm thread.

@50sKid 8 лет назад

Yeah it's the original screw. That's Honda for you.

The surging is your idle control valve. A battery light usually means your alternator isn't working. Not sure about the rest.

Honda needs to stop making these things. I never had a problem with any other aluminum oil pans. They have us torque them down to 29 to 33 ft lbs per the recommended specs with a torque wrench. I think using anything else than a wrench and a couple of love taps to make sure it's snug is overkill on these things.

transformerrock.Yep. Some Yamaha dealer moron pretended he's a mechanic then cross threaded the drain bolt. I took it back and they said the bike is SUPPOSED to be like that. OHHHHHHH, right, of course. Told them they just damaged my new bike but cant risk letting them touch it again. Since this was in South East Asia, lots of dark looks and much serious sulking cuz I made them "lose face". What a moronic concept. You can't be called out on anything nor call anyone else out, no matter what useless, ignorant fucks they are. Only big money creeps are allowed to raise shit cuz they're rich and connected. Every other customer just gets laughed at. If you want to know the dealer, PM me. For them it's far more important to look cool in your exculsive staff-only Yamaha, Honda, Kawi or Suzi polo shirt than actually know wtf you're doing. And learning anything from a foreigner who happens to be an EU certified race mechanic? No need. What would he know? Local bike trashing morons claim to know it all. So as I spend a few years working in the region, Ive learned to maintain my own rides and thank god for all the fantastic online forums. You guys are life-savers.
