What scares me more than anything else is that the thing hangs down
below the oil pan bottom. Can you say "exposed", boys and girls?

ten years of what? ten years of over-torque, yes, it'll fail. 10 years
of correct usage? no.

They are a neat idea, but I don't like the fact that the oil in the bottom
of the pan cannot be drained.
I suppose you could run a quart through after emptying to clean the bottom
a bit, but it would be nice if someone would come up with such a solution
straight from the factory that would actually empty the pan...

Ask the dealer if there are any other bolts in the car that he considers
it normal to have strip after 10 years of normal use and torque...
Maybe the spark plugs. Boy would THAT be a good deal for a dealership.
Under normal torque, without being cross-threaded, the threads should last
forever. If they don't, then there is a problem with Honda that needs to
be fixed.
