07 outlander oil drain plug stripped

[donnie77]

not the plug itself, but the aluminum threads in the case and i was told a time-sert is the best option, 

can someone please tell me if the time-sert 1215 will work,  and is there a 1215 and a 1215c, i can only get the1215

cheers

I know this post is old, but if anyone else needs help with the threads, the best way is to simply replace the sieve cover.  They are aluminum and are very fragile.  You do not need to tighten the plug much to get it to seal.  They say the engine must come out but that is not true.  You can easily tip the engine with a pry bar with the exhaust, engine mounts, and a few other components removed and you will be able to access the bolts and remove the cover for replacement.

It's funny I have the same machine and I had the same problem, I bought the manual and took the engine out to fix it along with other things, but it definitely could be changed in place
