FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this sump plug?

The sump plug seals the oil drain hole in the oil pan, allowing for the controlled draining of engine oil during maintenance and preventing leaks when the engine is running.

Does this sump plug come with a seal ring?

Yes, the ELRING Sump Plug includes a seal ring to ensure a proper seal and prevent oil leaks.

What tools are needed to install this sump plug?

You will need a hexagon socket wrench (Allen key or socket bit) of the appropriate size to fit the bolt head/nut design for installation and removal.

How do I confirm if this sump plug fits my car?

Verify the thread size (M18x1,5x12) and consult the detailed compatibility list provided for BMW, WIESMANN, ALPINA, MORGAN, and ROLLS-ROYCE models, or cross-reference the OEM part numbers.

Can I reuse the old seal ring?

It is strongly recommended to always use a new seal ring with a sump plug during each oil change to ensure a reliable seal and prevent leaks. This plug comes with a new one.

What does 'M18x1,5x12' mean?

'M18' refers to the metric thread diameter of 18mm. '1,5' is the thread pitch (distance between threads), and '12' typically indicates the length of the thread in millimeters.

Is this a genuine ELRING part?

Yes, this is an ELRING branded sump plug, manufactured by ELRING, a known supplier of automotive parts.

Troubleshooting

Sump plug is difficult to screw in

Ensure you are using the correct plug for your vehicle and that the threads on both the plug and the oil pan are clean and undamaged. Attempt to thread it by hand first to check alignment and prevent cross-threading.

Oil leak after installation

Check that the seal ring is correctly seated and undamaged. Verify that the sump plug is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. If the leak persists, the oil pan threads may be damaged, or the plug may be faulty.

Stripped threads on the sump plug

If threads are stripped, the sump plug will need to be replaced. If the oil pan threads are stripped, a more extensive repair, such as using a thread repair kit or replacing the oil pan, may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install the ELRING Sump Plug, ensure the vehicle is safely supported and the engine oil has been drained. Clean the threads on the oil pan and the new sump plug. Apply a small amount of thread sealant (if recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, though often not needed with a new seal ring) and screw in the sump plug by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten using a hexagon socket wrench to the manufacturer's specified torque. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility: Verify the thread size (M18x1,5x12) and the vehicle's make, model, and year against the product's compatibility list or OEM part numbers (e.g., 07119905428, 11137536578). This part is designed for specific applications including BMW X5 (E70, F15), X6 (E71, E72), 5 Series (E60, F10, F11), 7 Series (F01, G11), and other listed makes like WIESMANN, ALPINA, MORGAN, and ROLLS-ROYCE.

Care: The sump plug itself requires minimal care. After removal during an oil change, inspect the threads for damage. Always use a new seal ring when reinstalling to ensure optimal sealing. Replace the sump plug if the threads are damaged or the plug itself shows signs of wear.
