oil drain plug?
 

I know this may sound stupid, but doesn't the drain plug for the oil turn the same as any nut would (righty-tighty/lefty-loosy)?

i never followed that, always went with clockwise/counter clockwise.less room for error because someone forgets.

Make sure there is no debris in the way of the drain hole (basically just run your finger along the threads or use a rag). Also check the threads of the plug to make sure they aren't all messed up and/or cross-treaded. If neither or those makes any difference you can pick up a new plug from you local auto parts store for under $10. If that screws in, then you plug is buggered up, if that dont work then your drain hole is messed up and needs to be re-tapped.

well when i got the plug out and i was turning toward the back of my blazer, the plug had a thin strand of metal rapped around it. I;m guessing i need to rethread it. would it be cheaper for a new thread or anew pan?

Ok, called the parts store they told me about a larger self tapping plug. Has anyone used one of these and are they safe to use on my oil pan?
