SMART-O F1 Oil Drain Plugs provide an innovative, safer alternative to regular oil drain plugs at an affordable cost. Considered the safest and greenest oil plug available, Smart-O plugs reduce oil leaking out of your vehicle and into the environment. Uses high-performance sealing technology and patented anti-leak and anti-vibration mechanism. Designed with an O-ring that expands upon contact with oil, acting as a seal to prevent leakage and creating resistance to the plug coming lose from vibrations from the engine. O-ring reduces need for overtightening. Aluminum washer acts as bushing to reduce metal to metal contact. Special allow that exerts less wear on threads for a product that is stronger and lasts longer. Head-markings for quick plug identification. Specifications: Thread Diameter x Pitch: M12 x 1.75 mm Hex / Recess: 15mm Plug Material: Low carbon steel Plug Finish: Black oxide with black dip oil
Product Features
- Anti-leak and Anti-vibration function: seals the oil pan from the inside and counteracts vibration. The high-tech O-ring material expands upon contact with engine oil.
- Engine and Oil Pan Protection: the seal and anti-vibration mechanism reduce risk of engine damage due to catastrophic oil loss caused by loss of drain plug. The special alloy exerts less wear on threads.
- Faster installation: the SmarTorqª simple and unified torque setting system and quick plug identification system allows a more effective working process.
- Re-usable: the plug can be reused multiple times. The same goes for the robust O-ring which is a permanent seal saving cost for new gaskets replacement with every oil change.
- Eco-friendly: reduces risk for oil leaks, less material waste due to re-usable seal, black coating is free of harmful Cr6, so parts can be easily recycled.
Great for stopping leaks! I had an oil leak that would not stop even with a new factory drain plug and seal. I believe during a previous oil change, a technician over torqued my last bolt, partially stripping the threads on my oil pan. This bolt worked great to stop the leak, you could hear the o-ring squeaking as I torqued it down to the correct foot pounds. I placed a piece of cardboard under the car for 24 hours and no leak spotted!
Compatible with 2004 Saab 9-3 Linear. Durability with middle O-ring is an issue. Good oil drain plug that I use this in my 2004 Saab 9-3 Linear and can say it’s a sufficient drain plug. Can be re-used multiple times, but would probably replace is every 3-4 oil changes. One negative is that the O-ring in the middle breaks after the first oil change. It can be used without it as I re-used it a couple of times. That decision is up to you on if you want to do this. I did not experience any leakage with not having the o-ring in the middle. I will continue to use this since it’s…
Worked perfectly Worked perfectly, I had just done an oil change, and my garage floor would have oil on it whenever I pulled the Cadi out.I drained my oil into a “Lisle 17942 Black Plastic 4.5-Gallon Drain Pan” and installed the new Cadi drain plug.I wiped everything down by the Cadi oil pan, and around the drain plug.I wiped the garage floor down, and drove to the store, came back and parked the car. Pulled the Cadi out the next dayand I still had a small amount of oil on the…
