This plug is designed for a wide range of vehicles including Mercedes-Benz (E-Klasse, C-Klasse, M-Klasse, GLC, CLS, SL), BMW (5 Series E39, Z8 E52), SEAT 132, DODGE Sprinter 2500, PAGANI ZONDA Coupe, and PUCH G-Modell. Always verify the thread size (M12x1,5x12) and OE part numbers against your specific vehicle.
Yes, this Elring Oil Sump Screw Plug comes with a seal ring to ensure a proper and leak-free fit.
The thread size is M12x1,5x12.
It is strongly recommended to always use a new seal ring. The included seal ring is designed for a single use to ensure optimal sealing. Reusing an old seal can lead to leaks.
You will need a standard wrench or socket that fits the male hex bolt head. The specific size will depend on the bolt head dimensions, but typically a 17mm or 19mm socket is common for this type of plug.
You should tighten the plug to the torque specification provided by your vehicle's manufacturer. Overtightening can strip the threads of the oil pan, while undertightening can lead to leaks. Consult your vehicle's service manual for the exact torque value.
This plug is compatible with OE part numbers including 07119903199, 0029973430, 1239970130, 1239970430, A0029973430, A1239970130, and A1239970430.
Ensure you are starting the threads by hand and that the plug is aligned correctly. Check that the threads on both the plug and the oil pan are clean and free from debris. Do not force it; re-align and try again.
The seal ring may be damaged, improperly seated, or the plug may not be tightened sufficiently. Remove the plug, inspect the seal, ensure it's correctly positioned, and retighten to the manufacturer's recommended torque. If the seal is damaged, replace it.
This could indicate stripped threads on either the plug or, more likely, the oil pan. If the oil pan threads are damaged, professional repair or replacement of the oil pan may be necessary.
Compatibility Check: Before installation, verify that the M12x1,5x12 thread size and male hex bolt head design are compatible with your vehicle's oil pan. Refer to your vehicle's service manual or consult a parts specialist. The OE part numbers listed (07119903199, 0029973430, etc.) can aid in confirming fitment.
Installation:
Care: The oil sump screw plug itself requires minimal care. However, the seal ring should be inspected for damage before each oil change. If the seal appears worn, cracked, or flattened, it should be replaced to prevent leaks. Always ensure the threads on both the plug and the oil pan are clean.
