The inserts I used made by Caterpillar, doing heavy equipment repair goes from 12-24 to 1 1/2" bolts. They never pull out but I don't remember what I paid for the kit as it was about 40 years ago.

My oil pan has been helicoiled previously in its service records.  Dripped a bit.

So in saying that my original drain plug had no gasket or seal. The ez203 is made with a oring seal. I have no clue if there should be a factory seal on the factory plug. Area was oil contaminated and dirty. Probably last oil change was in 2007? but I didn't notice any hanging drips.

I do not like the fact that I have lost the factory oil wetted magnet. Mileage was unknown since last change, I suspect low, but it was completely spotless

So the oil drain on the side of the oil pan has a Allen head. Is it the same pitch as the lower one?

I just installed the compact drain plug and then torgue to the required spec on the plug container. It installed nicely and hopefully will eliminate the need to pull out and retighten the main plug over and over. Time will tell....

I went on line to order the No-Spill plug.  Since I am still here in Hawaii I thought I would just have it shipped here and I would carry it in my luggage back to the coach.  Unfortunately, when I put in the Hawaii shipping address the shipping cost went from $18 to $85.  So I guess I will wait to order mine until I get back to the mainland.

The torgue for my plug was 50 foot lbs. The new compact plug came with new copper washer and was a perfect match for my M11 oil pan threads.

Scott, did you use the original plate? If so what did you do about the drain hole/plug? Weld it up? I like your idea and I'm thinking I might truTV get one made..

I know this thread is 2 years old but I'm hoping you can remember what you did...

I left the plug assessable. Used if troubleshooting oil leaks in bellhousing. Yes original plate.  There was zero fluids under mine. Outside hole shouldn't matter. Ive done oil change since installation and it works nice. Skid plates and bumpers are always your friend in my world.
