🔧 M15 Oil Drain Plug Tap Thread Repair Kit: Restore Oil Pan Screws with Rethreading Tool Review

The real answer to the problem is a certificate of the time, but it's hard to justify $150 for a tool I'll one day use on a 220,000-mile 2007 Honda Civic. I chose this set and was not disappointed. A huge thank you to everyone who recommended chip control lubricants. I dipped my tap in red grease and was amazed at the amount of chips stuck to the tool. I flushed with a quart of fresh oil to get rid of the remaining shavings, put in a really good filter until the next change and there you go.

Great solution for easy installation. Make sure you drain the pan well. Then use a round washer to snip off any remaining threads but not too much, you just have to do this step to secure the taps and go straight in. Also, heat the drain plug area with a propane torch to soften the aluminum and make it a little easier to tap.

This tool comes with 6 drain plugs, so plan on using your neighbors and friends' drain plugs as well. The faucet is made of hardened steel and the 11mm head is perfect for the square adapter. On the Odyssey I had no clearance issues at all. Just align and rotate. This tool was surprisingly…

This kit has become a lifesaver. I tore off the oil drain hole on my friend's 2003 Civic while changing the oil. I don't know how, I didn't even tighten the screw when it went. It doesn't help that the oil drain thread is aluminum and the drain plug is steel. I was looking for a 15mm tap but couldn't find it. Then I found this set at Revain and it was just what I needed.
