Secure Oil Seal - With M14 x 1.5 outside thread

Accurate thread pitch and correct engagement depth reduce the risk of leaks after repeated removal and refitting during maintenance.

Straightforward Workshop Fitment - Thanks to 19 mm wrench size and hexagonal head

Hexagonal head is sized for a 19 mm spanner, a common workshop tool, allowing controlled tightening and easy removal. Length under the head is 22 mm, with overall length 29.5 mm, to match seating and clearance requirements.

Standard spanner compatibility and correct lengths make oil changes quicker and minimise the chance of cross-threading.

Improved Corrosion Resistance - With galvanised steel surface

Galvanised surface treatment covers the steel body to add a protective layer against moisture and road contaminants. Material specification lists steel construction for mechanical strength.

Durable finish helps the drain plug withstand exposure to salt and moisture, extending service life compared with untreated alternatives.
