I'd carefully grind the stripped head into a flat edge and remove it with a correct sized open end spanner. Maybe use a file if you aren't confidentband have all day

Thanks man, I’ll give a try. It’s been pissing me off as I’ve just been driving to almost empty on oil before doing the filter change. Can’t imagine it’s good for my car

I'm just guessing, m8.

I'm moving somewhere where smog emissions testing is mandatory.

Which is easier to pass, a sniffer test or an OBD2 port scan test?

I have to do an OBD2 test.

If the head is rounded locking pliers should do the trick. Clamp the sumbitch down on the head and turn. If the threads inside are stripped then cut the head off and drill it out. For the latter, you'll need to re-tap the threads or add an insert to get it to seal up again.

This. But honestly between the depth of the tread on the outside and the fact its bald just means that its probably inflated ok you just waited way too long to change tires.

Obd cuz you can do it yourself if you have a $10-20 scan tool. Worse comes to worse there's always that one guy that will pass anyone for a price

How do you run tires bald like that. Mine just start getting exposed metal on the sides then it's over

Thanks for your input, I'm relatively new to cars.

Does the OBD2 port have access to actual emissions numbers or just things that would throw an error code and show that the engine isn't running optimally?

Some AFM, use temp gauges ,if they're faulty it may not using the correct start up procedure.
