No Spill drain plug & drainer

Hi everyone,

Getting ready to buy one of these for our coach.
I can't remember how the drain plug is on our oil pan (coach is 6 hrs away).

Is the drain plug straight down or at an angle?

I need to choose a drainer: straight, angle, or 45 degree.

which drainer did you get?

Thanks

It should be straight down. The drain plug is on the bottom of the pan

But, I would caution about further extending any drain plug down where it could be knocked off by contact with an uneven road surface, alligator, etc.

I'm getting the short one.
Just didn't know what "drainer" to get

Frank,

Out the bottom of the M-11
No spill #55-25418-01 Compact series
#1002 drain as you have plenty of room

There is a thread from long ago where I measured the difference of how much difference the compact drain system is compared to the OEM drain plug. Seems like it is .030 thicker than the OEM If I get a chance later this afternoon I will see if I can find that thread. Out of all the ones that I have installed only one has been damaged by road debris. It didn't get knocked off just bent and the drain wouldn't screw on.

Straight down and I have the no spill on mine and it doesn't stick down very
far.

May want to order 2 drainers, one stored away for backup. If you misplace the drainer, there is no great way to drain. We have a spare straight-down drainer.
