This part does exactly what it sounds like – it plugs the drain hole in your oil pan. It’s a pretty simple design, really. The O – ring sits around the plug and creates a tight seal when you tighten everything up. It prevents oil from leaking out once the oil has been drained during an oil change. It's a fundamental part of the engine’s lubrication system. When you do an oil change, you remove this plug to let the old oil drain out. Then, you put it back in, hopefully with a fresh O – ring, to hold the new oil in. It’s located on the very bottom of your oil pan, so it’s exposed to everything under the car. It’s surprisingly important. If that plug fails, or the O – ring goes bad, you’ll have a pretty significant oil leak. Oil leaking onto hot exhaust components can create smoke and even a fire hazard. A slow leak might just leave puddles under your car and eventually lead to engine damage because you’re losing oil. It acts like a shield, keeping everything contained. You’ll notice if it’s failing—either by a noticeable drop in your oil level between checks or by seeing oil on the ground. You can find replacements pretty easily; Fixparts Online has a good selection, and it’s something you really want to address quickly. It's a small part, but a big deal for keeping your engine running smoothly. Buy risk-free: Oil Drain Plug with O-Ring (MPN 47894) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
