Default Permanent fix oil pan plug leak




this will permenantly repair the oil drip issue from the oil pan plug after it has been stripped, no need to replace the oil pan.

You need a time-sert kit # 1415 from Matco tools
inserts 14 by 1.5
all the instructions will be included in the kit..

you also need a permanent oil valve , it is spring loaded, so you never have to remove it,, you can get the valve at,,,

http://www.fumotovalve.com/ ....or 1-425-869-7771....
the valve you need is F-106..

i have done dozens of these and they work great, you can also install these instead of the regular plug before they get damaged , thus avoiding future complications,, especially if you take the car to those quick lube places..

Adn why wouldn't buying a new $40 opil pan be smarter? No worries about the one in a million chance of that stuff failing. Sounds like a half-*** way of fixing somethign if you ask me.

I prefer using an oversize plug when they get stripped out.

I've seen those quick connect oil drain things and they seem to work ok. (if you can make them quit leaking). But if you knew what you were doing you wouldn't strip the plug in the 1st place.

if oil pans new were $40 then honda wouldnt be selling tham at nearly $160.


the fram quick change kit is garbage.

an oversized plug is pretty ghetto, but it works sort of....cept you cant use the factory crush washer anymore so it tends to leak slightly.


the best way to avoid it being stripped is dont go to jiffy lube or any of the quick change places...

anyway that valve looks nifty to me

eh i think your way is a good cheap way to fix it in a somewhat reliable fashion.

nice looking valve, i would just be a bit scared to have my oil drain out at the flip of a lever

you are the only smart guy out of the whole bunch................

It really amazes me how many close minded people there are here,, quick to knock somethind down without ever seeing it , or knowing how it works,,

I have installed these on my customer cars for the past 10 years,,if i had the slightest notion that this would not work i would not put my *** on the line installing them on my customer,, last thing i want is for it to leak all the oil and me having to buy a new engine
I am here to try to help some of you guys out, and i would never reccomend something that i have not seen or done myself and know it to work,, this valve set up works GREAT, they don't leak, they don't strip and they are secure.

you got the information if you want to use it fine and if not is fine as well..

You dont think i'm smart because I prefer oversize drain plugs? They're cheap and fast, and you almost have to try to strip them out again. I've been using them for about 15 years without any complaints.

so what happens if the person happens to drive over a curb and the valve catches and rips out the oil pan...also causing the pan to be dented by the pressure exerted on the valve...with a stock plug it doesnt stick down at all...this valve would probably not be a good idea on lowered cars. am i right?
