Subject:oil drain plug

Hi,

Does anyone know if I can substitute a regular bolt for an oil drain plug
in my 87 Vanagon?  The head on mine is all chewed up.  Is there something
special about oil drain plugs relative to regular bolts?   The local VW
dealer wants $9 for one!

BTW, the same VW dealer charged me $25 for the VW Autobahn coolant we've
been discussing today!
