Thank you! And one quart is enough?

Yep, in fact a whole quart is probably overkill. Put some thick grease on the bolt it'll catch most of the shavings.

Note : Dont think running the car engine with a quart in is the idea here

I think you should warm the quart of oil to 150º before putting it into the engine and letting it drain through. Warm it in an unlit oven for an hour (just the pilot light on).

The engine is not turned on.

got it! Makes more sense now. Hence why I questioned whether one quart was enough. Thanks!

What’s everyone’s thoughts on using a longer bolt? Seems less invasive than the oversized one. I’ve some YouTube videos where they used a 30mm bolt.

If the threads in your oil pan are stripped, how does a longer (but I'm assuming you are implying same size threads as original) bolt help you?

Mr.Matchbox

Annother option: Removing the Oil pan only takes about 30 minutes at this car. Then use a helicoil and repair the stripped threads. Clean everything and re-install it. Done.
Disadvantage: Uses more time, work and a helicoil kit.

Notice how the oversized bolt has chamfered and slotted threads at the tip? This helps clean out and reset the grooves in the oil pan. You won't get this aid, with a standard bolt.

It take 30 minutes to hand thread the bolts when you're reinstalling it. Realistically it takes a bit over an hour, most of the time is spent prepping the surface, applying Honda bond, then installing it. It's an hour and a half job, then you have to wait another 30-40 minutes before you can put oil in the pan again.
