I will be attempting this in the next month as my oil plug leaks.

As the video shows, It’s a pretty straightforward job. Let me know how it goes. Best of luck!

Will this work for a 2002 Toyota Prius. I have to do the same thing since the threads on my oil pan are also ruined. Thanks for the video and great work!

It repair process may be slightly different, since you have a first generation Prius. My advice it to get the car safely up on jack stands and take a look in comparison to the video. Let me know what you find!
