Hi guys,

Ran into an issue changing my oil for the first time in a few years (Dealer has been doing it for about three years now) on my FI TTed 370Z.
When I went to tighten the drain plug, it stripped out on me prior to it tightening up. The drain plug is fine, it's the GReddy oil plug location that stripped out..

Do I need to order a new pan or is there a fix where I don't need to replace the pan?
If there is a good fix, what do you guys recommend?
Thank you for the help!
