Review on πŸ”Œ Dorman 65400 Extra-Large Drain Plug for Enhanced Performance in Engine Maintenance by Devin Girard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This oversized plug may interfere with oil pan replacement.

Worked great! The drain plug on my 2006 Honda Pilot had snapped off. I was about to swap the oil pan but decided to try that first. This is difficult to install - be sure to route the connector straight. It took about 45 minutes - plug in a quarter turn, remove, wipe the plug to remove chips, plug in a half turn, remove. . . Repeat this process until the connector is fully inserted. I used old oil to wash off the remaining shavings. The supplied washing machine was not used. Instead, I used a new Honda OEM aluminum disc. There are no leaks, the plug is well tightened. I can still replace the oil pan. I've read that some places don't change the oil on a car with an oversized plug. However, it was the oil change shop that removed it!

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
