Cheap Stripped Oil Drain Plug Thread Fix

Are the threads in your oil drain plug hole stripped? Here's a cheap and easy fix for a stripped oil drain plug thread problem. It will work on a car or motorcycle, and you can buy it for around $5 at an auto parts store. The fix is a rubber drain plug with a bolt and wing nut on it to make it expand and fill the oil drain plug hole to seal the oil in. The rubber oil drain plug you see in the video is made by Dorman, and they call it the Oil-Tite Oil Drain Plug. If you stripped the threads in your oil drain plug hole, and you want to get back on the road as soon as possible, you can use one of these rubber universal oil drain plugs to keep the oil in your engine. It isn't a permanent professional fix for stripped threads on the oil drain plug hole, and the manufacturer says you should only use it once, and if you change the oil you should buy a new rubber oil drain plug. For a permanent fix you would want to install new threads in the oil pan or put in Helicoil threads, or replace the oil pan with a new one. If you don't have time or energy to do that, you can use the Dorman Oil-Tite rubber oil drain plug as a drain plug until you are able to enact a permanent fix.
