And set your impact on high to replace the drain plug ... NOT!!!!!These days I just do oil and filter changes.
No, driving on 3 is not fine. It’s risking the lives of others around you. A safety margin is designed in for emergencies, to get you home if caught in a bushfire or something. Not for you to ignore it for 6 months.Yes it’s fine when Sam’s stripped the ones on our 2004 Camry and I broke two off doing brakes we drove it on three for almost 6 months I checked torque on them weekly. I’m near the same area you are in so I’m sure it will be fine.
You should be good till you can get the stud replaced. Invest in a torque wrench and hand torque your lug nuts and save the power tools for removal.First time using an impact wrench and I stripped one of the lug nuts and stud. Am I okay running on four lugs instead of five for the next 3,000 miles until my next scheduled service? I don't speed but we do have a lot of hills and curves here.
Well it wasn’t my choice to drive on three lol. We didn’t have any issues so we are lucky there.No, driving on 3 is not fine. It’s risking the lives of others around you.

I usually install with impact just use the low power setting. then finish off with torque wrench.You should be good till you can get the stud replaced. Invest in a torque wrench and hand torque your lug nuts and save the power tools for removal.
Sounds nuts to me even if he keeps them opposite. But that's his business I guess.My neighbor has been running 3/5 nuts for years! As long as the missing 2 nuts are opposite it seems to work fine. YMMV
I should also mention that he adds PS fluid daily...in case that tells you what kind of shape his truck is in!Sounds nuts to me even if he keeps them opposite. But that's his business I guess.
Does he have a bunch of chains wrapped on it ? for decoration.I should also mention that he adds PS fluid daily...in case that tells you what kind of shape his truck is in!
fine. have the neighbors steal your oil.And set your impact on high to replace the drain plug ... NOT!!!!!
I wouldn't use an impact to even remove a drain plug, much less tighten one. This was sarcasm.
