It seals the oil pan, which is basically the reservoir at the bottom of your engine that holds the oil. The plug itself has a threaded design so you can remove it to drain the old oil during an oil change, and then tighten it back up to hold the fresh oil in. Usually there's a crush washer on there – that little metal ring – that helps make a really tight seal. Think of it as the bottom gatekeeper for all your engine’s oil. All the lubrication your engine gets, stays in there because of this plug. It keeps everything contained and prevents a major mess – and a major engine problem – if it fails. Without a good seal from this plug, your engine oil will just leak out. You'll notice if that happens – you’ll see oil puddles under your car, and your oil pressure light will likely come on. If you keep driving with a leaking plug, you’ll quickly run your engine low on oil, and that can cause serious damage. It's a small part, but it's like a shield protecting your engine from a lot of wear and tear. You can find these pretty easily, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and getting a new crush washer each time you change your oil is always a good idea.
