Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size, plug length, and sealing style before installation. This plug uses a 13 mm spanner size and is listed with a seal ring, so the sealing surface should be clean before tightening. Confirm the vehicle-specific fitment notes where provided, especially on Land Rover Defender, Discovery Sport, and Range Rover Evoque applications that specify Length: 20 mm and Thread Size: M14. Always compare the removed plug to the replacement before final installation.
