Detailed Product Overview

This Dorman 097-826HP oil drain plug is engineered for serviceability on vehicles that use a 7/8 in. SAE coarse-thread drain plug.

The nylon body, twist drain style, and included gasket O-ring support straightforward routine maintenance.

This part cross-references Ford BC3Z6730A for the same application.

What This Drain Plug Helps Address

  • Oil splatter on chassis parts during draining
  • Messy oil changes caused by upward or side-directed drain flow
  • Worn or damaged drain plug sealing surfaces

  • Replacement needs on select Ford and Lincoln oil pan drain points
