Determine the original thread size of the old oil pan plug by measuring the diameter of the old oil pan plug\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2. Select the next size sump plug.

For example: the original thread 1.25 uses a thread with a plug of 13mm x 1.25\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3. Fill the threads of the plug with clean shaft\/bearing grease\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4. Use a suitable drive head to screw the threads into the oil pan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e5.
