FAQs
What Mercedes-Benz models does this sump plug fit?
This sump plug (MPN 31764) is specified for Mercedes-Benz C Class and E Class models. It's crucial to verify compatibility by checking against the OEM part numbers it replaces: 601 997 0230, A1119970330, and Chrysler OEM 05073945AA.
Do I need to replace the washer every time I change the oil?
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace the copper washer every time the sump plug is removed during an oil change. The copper washer is designed to deform slightly to create a seal and is often a single-use item to ensure a leak-free fit.
What is the size of the copper washer?
The included copper washer has dimensions of 14mm x 20mm x 15mm.
What torque should I use to tighten the sump plug?
The recommended torque specification varies by Mercedes-Benz model. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for the exact torque setting to avoid overtightening or under-tightening.
Can I reuse the old copper washer?
It is strongly advised not to reuse the old copper washer. Reusing it can lead to leaks as the washer may have already deformed and lost its sealing capability.
What does 'MPN 31764' mean?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. 31764 is the unique identifier for this specific Connect Sump Plug & Washer product.
Troubleshooting
Sump plug leaks after installation.
Ensure the copper washer is correctly seated and the plug is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Check the sump pan threads for damage. If the leak persists, the washer may be faulty or the plug may not be the correct fit for the vehicle.
Difficulty removing the old sump plug.
Apply a penetrating oil and allow it to soak. Use a properly sized wrench or socket and apply steady pressure. If the plug head is damaged, professional removal might be necessary.
Sump plug threads stripped.
If the threads on the sump plug or the sump pan are stripped, replacement of the sump pan may be required, or a thread repair kit could be considered. Professional assessment is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before purchasing, verify that your Mercedes-Benz model (specifically C Class or E Class) and the existing oil drain plug's specifications match the OEM part numbers referenced (601 997 0230, A1119970330, or Chrysler 05073945AA). Consult your vehicle's service manual if unsure.
Installation:
- Ensure the engine is cool before starting.
- Place a suitable oil drain pan beneath the sump plug.
