Dorman 090-172CD Oil Drain Plug with M14-1.50 Pilot Point and 13mm Head Size, Complete Compatibility with Various Models Review

I had a significant oil leak from the drain plug. I bought this connector and installed it - no changes, it's still flowing! So I bought a factory plug, no more leaks! $7 down the drain!

Overall I liked Dorman products but this was an exception. This somewhat unusual oil drain plug has a molded washer with a surrounding stand-up collar for sealing. The pearl can be seen on the item's side on the listing page. The product almost completely lacked this necessary convex bead. I had to buy a good one locally. Oil drain plugs CORTECO or Original MINI are good alternatives.

I had this hole on the bottom of the engine. Every time I poured oil, it flowed out immediately. I've tried gum, duct tape, spray foam, rocks, wood shavings, glue, hot dogs, cheese and even plasticine, all of which have failed. I desperately thought that such a bolt could work. To my surprise, this little thing does the trick. Just stick it in the hole and twist. As you turn it, it gets close to the engine, and before you know it, the oil stops flowing! You have to wonder if the car companies…
