Himm. I do wonder if that is a possible reason there are these I stripped sump plug threads.

Tricky to locate the tool in the correct position, ahh thatildoo, whammo - neck minute striped the bolt fitting.

Enlarge the hole, well if you have too I guess.

Also it seems the rattle guns are popular over simple hand tools.

ZZZZRRRRRPPPP. Then...Ah crap. Thats not good.

Remove the protective plastic sheet all-together, yeah nah, not for me.
Mine has a few scrape marks and gouges. So its doing its job.

I've had the thick plastic "bumpskid" on my since it was new. (2014). Its got a few deep scratches on it that would have seriously damaged the thin plastic covers just behind the bumpskid. I wouldn't be without either of those protective covers. A few moments with the Dremel tool has made oil changes cleaner and easier.

I personally would never use the suction method on anything, unless you want the crap to collect in the bottom of the pan. I bought my Chevy Blazer that was used, first time I changed the oil, I removed the drain plug and nothing came out, not even a drop. I stuck a screw driver in the hole and wiggled it around and out came this wad of slime sticky goop and then the engine oil. Seems that the previous owner was taking it to those quick lube places that suck out the oil, too lazy to pull the drain plug and do it right.
