Ecoplug Oil Pan Thread Repair Plug, 14-18mm, Magnetic Steel T-Bolt for Aluminum Oil Pans

The Ecoplug Damg Oil Pan 14-18mm is a magnetic oil drain plug built to repair stripped or damaged threads in aluminum oil pans. It uses a tapered, self-tapping steel t-bolt that cuts securely into the pan wall as it is installed, creating a snug, leak-free fit without the need to re-tap or re-thread the original drain hole. The kit includes epoxy for a permanent bond, so the repair holds up to normal engine heat and vibration without the plug working loose over time. A vinyl cap fits over the installed t-bolt to add extra durability and help protect the repair during future oil changes.

This plug is sized for 14-18mm oil pan drain openings and has a 1.25 inch thread length, making it suited to aluminum oil pans with stripped or damaged threads that would otherwise require pulling and replacing the entire pan. Because the repair is done in place, it saves the labor and expense of removing the oil pan for replacement. The self-tapping design means no special tapping tool is required for installation.
