It was then suggested we get a Self Threading Tapered Piggyback Oil Pan Drain Plug and some JB Weld to cold weld it in place. This turned out to be a great idea, an easy process and hopefully a final solution to the problem. Drain just about every drop of oil from the car. This can take awhile.

What should I do if my oil pan drain plug is stuck?

Let the JB Weld dry overnight (approx.15 hours) Apply Anti-Seize to the center part (the Piggyback) and thread it into place.
