Ap1 Oil Pan
So I know I should be changing my own oil, and from here on out it will be done by me...
But anyway, I took my S2K to Valvoline for an oil change and the genius there over tightened my drain plug and cracked the oil pan. Where is the best place for me to order a new one? Really rather not pay the $300 that the dealership would want for one.

Yeah, I doubt it... Not sure if its even worth my time since I had someone else look at it and do a temp patch. It was draining a quart of oil a week and I had to do something.
Guess the only thing they could say is eff off though...

I've heard of stripped threads but never a cracked oilpan. Is it possible that someone screwed in a drain plug with the wrong threads? Was it cross-threaded?
But I ended up buying one off a fellow member for $90 shipped! Not too bad.
