Troubleshooting

Oil leak after installation

Verify the gasket was correctly seated on the drain plug and that the drain plug was torqued to the manufacturer's specification. The oil pan threads may also be damaged.

Gasket does not fit drain plug

Confirm the gasket's dimensions (12mm inner, 17mm outer) match your drain plug. Ensure you have the correct part number for your vehicle model and year.
