Elring 587.350 Engine Oil Drain Plug

Engine Oil Drain Plug Overview

Elring 587.350 is an engine oil drain plug built for direct replacement service on select Saab and Ford applications. It uses a male hex head with a 13 mm spanner size and M14 x 1.5 x 14 thread specification for service-fit accuracy.

Key Features

• Male hex head design for straightforward removal and installation.
• 13 mm spanner size for common service-tool compatibility.
• M14 x 1.5 x 14 thread specification for proper thread matching.
• Supplied without a seal ring, so the sealing arrangement must be verified during service.
• Alternative repair kit reference 518.480 for related service lookup.

Detailed Description

This Elring oil drain plug is intended for engine oil pan service where the original drain plug thread and head style match the listed specification. It fits 1999-2009 Saab 9-5, 1999-2003 Saab 9-3, 1980-1998 Saab 900, 1986-1998 Saab 9000, and 1991-1996 Ford Escort. The 587.350 part number is useful when matching replacement hardware during routine oil changes or leak-related repairs on Saab 9-5 and Saab 9-3 applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 1 454 117, 6 732 529) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or damaged oil drain plug.
• Restoring proper thread engagement at the oil pan.
• Addressing oil seepage caused by an incorrect plug specification.
• Matching service hardware during engine oil maintenance.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the thread size, head style, and sealing arrangement before installation. Because this plug is listed without a seal ring, reuse or replacement of the sealing component must be verified separately. Use the correct 13 mm tool to avoid rounding the hex head.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized OE-focused sealing and engine hardware brand, and part number 587.350 follows the listed service dimensions for application matching.
