Detailed Description

This Dorman oil drain plug is made to replace a damaged or worn factory plug without changing the original thread specification. The M14-1.50 thread size, fine pitch, and pilot point profile help it seat correctly in the oil pan, while the included gasket supports a clean seal at service time. Part number 65215 is a practical choice for maintenance on many late-model import and domestic applications, including Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Sportage, Jeep Wrangler, and Ford F-250 Super Duty vehicles that use this thread pattern.

This part cross-references Dorman - Autograde 65215 and aftermarket 4502142 for the same application.
