Package Contents:

- 6 x M15 Sealing Washers
- 1 x M15x1.50 Threading Tap
Instructions for Use:
- Determine the original thread size of the old oil pan plug by measuring its diameter.
- Select the next size sump plug; for example, if the original plug is 14mm in diameter, use a 15mm plug.
- Verify the thread pitch of the original plug and select a replacement plug with the same pitch (e.g., if the original thread is 1.50, use a 14mm x 1.50 plug).
- Apply clean shaft or bearing grease to the threads of the tap.
- Using a suitable drive tool, carefully screw the tap into the oil pan to cut new threads.
- To create a full thread, turn the tap clockwise to cut, then reverse approximately 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to break the chip. Repeat this process.
- After cutting the threads, remove the tap and clean the area thoroughly.
- Add oil to the engine and install a temporary plug in the oil pan to flush out any metal debris that may have entered the engine.
- Install a new oil pan plug with a new copper gasket and torque to the vehicle's specifications.
Note: Always ensure you are ordering the correct part. If unsure, consult a professional for installation.
