🔧 Dorman 092-020 EZ Drain Oil Plug and Gasket, 21MM Hex Head, M14 x 1.50 Thread for Compatible Vehicle Models Review

The product was fairly easy to install with no problems other than tightening the plug. I don't know what size it is so I had to use pliers to tighten the cork. The manufacturer must specify the size of the wrench used to tighten the plug. Only time will tell with the weather in Southern California if there will be an expansion leak as someone mentioned.

I look in and this thing sprang up and covered my entire driveway in oil. I reached under the handle and shut it (no tools as advertised!) and as I did it dawned on me that maybe I hadn't tightened it all the way. So I'm

Fits my 2004 WJ 4.7, no leaks. I love this drain. No more tossing the drain plug in the sump or replacing the plug gasket/washer. The gasket that came with the kit was a bit loose - its inside diameter was larger than the diameter of the drain, which I would like, but it doesn't leak. I only docked one sprocket because the spring and detent that holds it closed is a bit flimsy and makes me a little nervous. I would like a stiffer spring or at least a deeper lock. And even better both. If it…
