Oil Drain Problem

Go out to change my Oil yesterday, got everything ready, to see the Bolt does not want to come out, and its ready to strip itself. Might have been because of the cold, no clue, but is there something, like a release valve or something I could replace the bolt with when I do change the oil next time?

Go to the parts store and get a new magnetic drain plug. Next use your vise grips and take the old one out.

Look for a "Fumoto" drain plug. Goes in place of regular drain plug but has a lever to open it up instead of having to take a bolt out. Most auto stores have them.

My friend had like two drain plugs fall out, I don't know where he got them.. if I did, I would tell you to stay clear... he might have been just retarded and didn't tighten it, but after two, he got a new one. haha
