Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread size, pitch, and head size before installation. Clean the drain opening and sealing surface, then install the plug by hand first to avoid cross-threading. Tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification and inspect for leaks after the oil change. This part uses a conventional drain method and does not require a special tool.
