Detailed Description

This Dorman oil drain plug is engineered for broad OE-style service coverage across many import and domestic vehicles. The M14-1.50 thread pitch and 14 mm thread diameter are critical for maintaining a proper seal and avoiding cross-threading during oil changes. The carbon steel body and 5.8 bolt grade provide a service-ready replacement for damaged drain plugs on applications including Acura MDX, Ford F-250 Super Duty, and Ram 1500. Part number 090-053CD is a practical choice when the original plug is stripped, rounded, or no longer sealing correctly. This part cross-references aftermarket number 4502142 for the same application.
