Product Details

This engine oil drain plug is engineered to match the original thread pitch and sealing interface, helping restore a proper oil pan seal after drain plug wear, stripping, or damage. The Dorman 090-182CD uses an M14-1.50 metric thread, carbon steel construction, and a gasket seal to support routine oil service on many Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. It is a practical replacement for applications such as 2012-2021 Audi A6 Quattro, 2017-2021 Audi Q7, 2010-2017 Volkswagen GTI, and 2010-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan. This part cross-references OE number N90856001 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Stripped or damaged oil drain plug threads
• Oil seepage at the drain plug sealing surface
• Worn hex head that no longer accepts a socket properly
• Incorrect replacement hardware with the wrong thread pitch
• Recurring leaks after routine oil changes
