So just got my first oil change today in my s2k and the technician explained to me that my oil pan was previously stripped and the only solution for the quick lube is to install a "pan saver". This is my first time ever using something like this and I do plan on replacing the pan ASAP, but in the mean time is this something I should should not have on my car? I will check oil levels and for leaks, but I'm concerned about the internals some how getting ruined from the long bolt that it uses to secure itself. I have read of cars using them, but no reports of and s2k... I just spent $80 on a oil change and I'm already furious about that (just had surgery), so I don't know if they were just too lazy to put the over sized bolt back in or wanted an easy solution. What do you guys think? I found some oil pans for about $120 and will do it for my next oil change, I just don't want to risk anything at the moment. I'm scared to drive my car.

When the dust settles, get this. Don't even have to get under the car to change the oil.

I'm not sure what a pan saver is.
If its that rubber plug crap, get rid of it asap.
If its a specialty oversize drain plug that cuts its own new threads, this can be a 100% good repair.

Aeroquip’s Quick-Drain couplings are double sealed, externally there is a cap seal, internally they're valved requiring the drain coupler is inserted to open flow / drain.
