Just did the 500 mile oil change on my new Busa.
Putting the drain plug back in, you guessed it, I stripped out the threads in the oil pan.
I put the plug in as well as I could and filled it back up with oil. I ran it for 6 or 7 minutes. It may be dripping a slight amount or I could just be seeing the oil that got all over the pipe when I drained it. I'm letting it cool now then I'll clean up the oil with brake-clean and let it run again to see what happens.
I want to get it back to the dealer to be fixed right. It's about a 30 mile ride on the Interstate. Should I chance riding it or get it towed in?
Any estimates of how much the screw up is going to cost me (new oil pan and labor)?
