Re: stripped oil pan
You can tap a pan without taking it off, Ive done it myself, heard o it being done and I'll probably do it again!
If you do it that way, simply put some grease on the bit and tap so the metal chips stick to it
You wont get all of them, but thats when you go to walamrt and get the CHEAP oil, flush it out
Magnetic drain plug will catch the rest

Re: stripped oil pan
I work at a dealer....we tap oil pans all the time without taking them off. Stupid jiffy lubes an shyt always strip pans....I use a spark plug thread tap that matches the heliocoil kit diameters that we get from local autopart shops.
Use my ratcheting wrench and back out after the tap goes about half way in to bring out the shavings.....Never have had a problem with it or any of the other guys here......if u must...just use some wd-40 while tapping the pan..just spray some on ever now an then..will help keep the threads from over heating an warping
