Today I returned the rental after installing the Time-Sert insert into
my oil drain.  It worked well, and I like that I now have that threaded
steel insert for the drain plug instead of the soft aluminum.  My new,
correct drain plug threaded in and tightened up to the proper torque
just fine.

I am also glad I chose this option because the plug that was stripped
was already a McParts "oversize" plug, so that would not have been an
option for me.

If anyone else is planning to do this, one thing that was not obvious
(to me, anyway) is that when ordering the rental you have to order the
insert itself as a separate item: none are automatically included with
the tool rental.  The folks at AirCooled.NET were nice enough to ask if
I had meant to order an insert before they shipped the tool -- a very
good company to deal with, at least in that regard.
