It didn't even leak, had that car for another 40k miles, and junked the car for different reasons.
Anyway, good luck!

Yes, the oil plug bolt just spins. You can never tighten it or loosen it.
So I what does the PB Blaster do? I assume the torch will heat up the bolt and expand it so it might grab threads. Is that the idea?
I'll give it a try. Thanks to everyone for the advice!
