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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ecoplug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e ECPL96012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct UPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 696859960123\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Repair Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eT-Bolt Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCap Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Oil Pan Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel t-bolt, epoxy, vinyl cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size drain hole does the Ecoplug ECPL96012 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ECPL96012 is sized for oil pan drain openings ranging from 14mm to 18mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat oil pan material is this repair plug designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ecoplug ECPL96012 is built to repair stripped or damaged threads in aluminum oil pans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Ecoplug ECPL96012 require tapping the oil pan?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the t-bolt is self-tapping and cuts its own threads into the pan wall as it is installed, so no separate tapping step is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs epoxy included with this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the ECPL96012 kit includes epoxy to create a permanent bond as part of the repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the thread on the ECPL96012 plug?\u003c\/strong\u003e The thread length is 1.25 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the plug made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ECPL96012 uses a tapered steel t-bolt with a vinyl cap that fits over the installed t-bolt for added durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a magnetic drain plug?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Ecoplug ECPL96012 is a magnetic oil drain plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this avoid replacing the whole oil pan?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the ECPL96012 is designed as a permanent repair for stripped or damaged oil pan threads, eliminating the need for a full oil pan replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the ECPL96012 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ecoplug ECPL96012 weighs 0.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the vinyl cap do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The vinyl cap fits over the installed t-bolt to add extra durability for long-term reliability of the ECPL96012 repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the ECPL96012 leak after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e The tapered self-tapping t-bolt is designed to create a tight, leak-resistant seal once installed in the oil pan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eco Plug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027469377755,"sku":"ECO-96012","price":18.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/ECO-96012__53925.1747363868.500.750.jpg?v=1785163868","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/ecoplug-oil-pan-thread-repair-plug-14-18mm-magnetic-steel-t-bolt-for-aluminum-oil-pans","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
