Re: Ism oil change Reply #26 – September 07, 2020, 08:57:07 am 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.... Quote Selected 2 Likes

Re: Ism oil change Reply #29 – September 07, 2020, 12:51:43 pm 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. Richard Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Ism oil change Reply #30 – September 07, 2020, 02:33:20 pm 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. Quote Selected 1 Likes

They never pull out but I don't remember what I paid for the kit as it was about 40 years ago.Chuck since the median income in the US went from 12K to 62K just say you got in cheap, and it would cost a lot now.... lol.

Re: Ism oil change Reply #32 – June 07, 2022, 10:19:01 pm 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...Keith Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Ism oil change Reply #33 – June 07, 2022, 10:52:50 pm 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. Scott Quote Selected
