Re: stranded alone help please ..
Sorry you had that issue and got stranded. Do you have any idea why the bolt came out? Was it loose and vibrated out or was it stripped and fell out? If it was stripped you’re gonna have to get a helicoil type kit. Sorry I don’t know the bolt size.

Re: stranded alone help please ..
The drain plug? Or mounting bolt/nut?
all the oil gone?
If so a good parts store is needed they make a universal rubber plug best of luck in your attempt to fix

Re: stranded alone help please ..
I don't know . I didn't even touch the oil but it's definitely wasn't stripped . . bummer... ok well I've got to go find it somewhere . it was still draining when I pulled off and stopped so it's probably right B4 the exit ..

Oh wow! Sorry that happened to you at such a terrible hour too. Also did you find out if it was the drain plug or one of the oil pan bolts?

If its the drain plug they make a rubber one that fits by stretching for temp service , or if stripped threads

You should be able to find it by following the oil trail I would think.....

Re: stranded alone help please ..
I am hoping you just changed the oil and forgot to tighten the bolt, not that it stripped.
Anyway AAA is good for situations like this if you have the 100 mile tow.
