Re: [DML] oil filter plug replacement



Gus and Group, If you want to get away from the special tool and the chances 
it will strip out. I have an oil drain plug that is SS and a brass that uses 
a standard 17mm wrench or a crescent. No hang ups and anyone can take it off.

<< The oil drain plug socket is a Snap-On tool, part number 111104 from 
delorean.com. I
keep mine in the glovebox.

I had a local lube shop offer to drill out the pan and install a "normal" 
plug. I
passed! However, one could weld some square stock into the drainplug, 
making it male
and removable with "normal" tools. And if you screw up, new drainplugs are 
about $4.

I was turned away from a lube shop once, because my car was too exotic 
(Volvo?) and too
expensive (less than that Lexus over there!). A letter to the shop owner 
got me an
apology letter and a promise to stock my correct oil filter.
