Default NP 271 T-Case *No More Stripped Plugs*

I stripped out the drain plug, trying to loosen it.

Is it a regular pipe thread, so I can get a couple new ones?

I managed to get my fill plug out last night and took it down to Carquest. Got me a couple plugs that take a 6 point socket, instead of a 10mm hex insert socket.

Good idea I have seen so many of those hex heads stripped!
