About eight months ago I brought my 2006 V6 Accord to my local
automotive shop for an oil change like I always do. When they removed
the drain plug it stripped the threads on the inside of the pan. The
shop said they've seen this happen in other Hondas lately and told me we
could either try an over-sized plug or I would need a new oil pan at a
cost of $500.

I of course opted for the new plug and all was well until last week when
I went in for another oil change. They didn't say anything to me, but I
noticed this morning there were several drops of oil under my car. So
it appears that once again the plug is leaking. I am going back
tomorrow to see what they can do for me, but I wanted to know if this is
a common occurrence. I suspect the shop may have over-torqued the plug
from the beginning and caused all these problems because years ago when
I had the time to change my own oil I never had this issue come up.

Thanks!
