It seals the oil pan, preventing oil from leaking out once you’ve done your oil change. It also has a threaded section that allows you to screw it in and out for draining the oil. Some come with a crush washer, which is basically a soft metal ring that gets compressed each time you tighten the plug – that helps make a really tight seal. Think of it as the bottom gatekeeper for all your engine's oil. Your oil is constantly circulating, lubricating everything inside the engine, and then draining back down into the oil pan. The drain plug keeps all that oil in the pan when the engine isn’t running. It’s right at the lowest point of the engine, so it takes a bit of a beating, honestly. If that plug fails, you’re going to have an oil leak, and that can be bad. Even a small leak can damage parts under the car, and a bigger leak? That can starve your engine of oil, and that can cause serious engine damage – we’re talking potentially needing a whole new engine. You’ll notice if it's leaking, generally a puddle under the car, and often you’ll smell burning oil. It's one of those things that’s cheap to replace, but can save you a ton of money in the long run. You can often find them pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re usually pretty straightforward to swap out during an oil change. Don’t want to mess around with a failing plug, trust me. Buy risk-free: Oil Drain Plug (MPN 102361) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
