Shorter than the original

Fits comfortably in the drain pan. But it's almost an inch shorter than the original. And since you're pouring it through the drain plug, you don't have enough liquid there.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Available in white only

Thread Size - Engines & Engine Parts

When you need to add gear oil, pull out the center set screw and attach a brass nipple to which the hose attaches. This set screw is custom sized like 1/8" pipe. I haven't found anything that fits.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Zero

Fits but varies

Received a box of 5. The filling hole on them is a different thread. Just go to one of the hardware stores and buy the appropriate compression fitting.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • I won't tell

Apparently Dorman can't make a fork like Ford.

Apparently Dorman can't make the same plug as Ford, the filler hole is smaller than the adapter and I returned the pack of five and bought the correct one. Looks the same, is described as the same, but is not the same. pain in the ass.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Compatibility

Can be made to run

Great that you get 5 Fords for the price of one. However, the quality varies from plug to plug. I had to use 2 internal set screws to prevent leakage. Looking at all 5, each set screw goes a different depth into the main connector. The original appears to be flush with the inside edge and never leaks, but it also rusts and seizes. Terrible design by Ford. Was it difficult to put the dipstick on the pallet? A standard filling adapter will not fit. I got lucky and bought a marine liquid pump with

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Is working! Requires a different fill adapter (explained).

This part works with 2005-2010 Mustang 5R55S automatic transmissions and replaces the OEM part 6R3Z-7A010-A. However, Dorman apparently only acquired partial rights to duplicate this part and designed the internal fill hole smaller than the original part, making it incompatible with Ford fluid fill adapter #307-437 (OTC 6604). However, take into account that just one of the OEM parts 6R3Z-7A010-A can cost $30 and Dorman here gives you 5 parts you need as the torx inner cap can get stuck…

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Some difficulties
