FAQs

What is the thread size of this oil sump screw plug?

The thread size is M12x1.25x11.

What spanner size is needed to install/remove this plug?

A 14 mm spanner is required for the external hexagon bolt head.

Does this plug come with a seal ring?

Yes, it is supplied with a seal ring for a secure fit.

Can I reuse the old seal ring?

It is highly recommended to use the new, included seal ring to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. Reusing an old or damaged seal ring can compromise oil containment.

What does 'OE-quality' mean?

'OE-quality' means the part is manufactured to the same standards and specifications as the original equipment part installed by the vehicle manufacturer.

How tight should I install the oil sump plug?

You should tighten the plug to the torque specification provided by your vehicle's manufacturer. Overtightening can damage the oil pan threads.

Is this plug compatible with all vehicles?

No, compatibility is specific to vehicles that require an M12x1.25x11 thread size for their oil sump plug and have a compatible sump design.

Troubleshooting

Plug is difficult to thread in.

Ensure the oil sump threads are clean and undamaged. Verify you are using the correct thread pitch (M12x1.25x11) and try threading the plug in by hand first to prevent cross-threading.

Oil leak detected around the plug.

Check that the plug is tightened to the correct torque specification. Ensure the included seal ring is present, correctly seated, and not damaged. If the leak persists, the oil sump threads may be damaged, or the plug may be faulty.

Difficulty removing the old plug.

Use a 14 mm spanner that fits snugly. If the plug is seized, apply a penetrating oil and allow it to soak before attempting removal. Ensure you are turning the plug in the correct counter-clockwise direction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a reliable and leak-free seal for the oil sump.
  • Manufactured to original equipment (OE) quality standards.
  • Designed for precise fitment, simplifying replacement.
  • Includes necessary seal ring for immediate use.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting performance.

Cons

  • Requires specific torque settings during installation to prevent damage.
  • May require specialized tools for removal if overtightened or corroded.
  • Compatibility is limited to vehicles using the specified thread size and sump design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle's oil sump threads are clean and free from debris.
  2. Thread the Elring Oil Sump Screw Plug (952.850) by hand to avoid cross-threading.
  3. Tighten the plug using a 14 mm spanner to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Overtightening can strip threads or damage the oil pan, while undertightening can lead to leaks.

Compatibility:

This plug is designed with a thread size of M12x1.25x11 and an external hexagon bolt head with a 14 mm spanner size. Always verify that these specifications match the requirements of your specific vehicle's oil sump before purchase and installation. It is intended as a replacement for OE part numbers with identical specifications.

Care:

Routine inspection of the plug and surrounding area for any signs of oil seepage is recommended during oil changes. The plug itself requires no special maintenance beyond ensuring a proper seal during installation. If removed for any reason, inspect the threads and replace the seal ring if necessary.
