Hello all, I made the mistake of not replacing the gasket/crush washer on the drain bolt and have now stripped the threads in the oil pan itself. Temporarily have fixed using an oversized bolt from Auto Zone. Dealer quoted $535 + tax for oil pan replacement. Looked up pan part online (11200-RYE-A00) and it's around $100. Is there a DIY for oil pan replacement? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

 

Ouch. Not sure if there's a DIY on replacing the oil pan in the MDX section. I've never found anything on it. Maybe someone else can chime in.

That was an expensive mistake.

 

Oil pan R&R is snug. Probably want to do gasket as well. Just looked under mine and the j-pipe needs to be dropped. Probably best to google the shop manual for this job, for tq specs and all. Expensive mistake but relatively easily fixed IF you are proficient with a wrench.
