Do oil pan threads just eventually come out on their own or is it more likely the fault of the party changing the oil. I.E. overtightening of plugs, crossthreading,…etc?

Stripped oil pan threads

Cross threading or over tightening.

I’ve NEVER had this problem on any vehicle. I’ve had oil pans that had several hundred oil changes by the time I sold the vehicle.

The quick lube places are notorious for this.
