My oil plug continues to leak so I would like to install a standard automotive plug. The engine is a '96 3.0GS MNCA Serial#4110131584. Where could I get the plug I need? <br />Thanks again for the help!<br /><br />Mark
You need to replace the seals, or what ever is bad, If you replace the dipstick tube and fitting with a plug, you will not have any way of checking the oil.
Hey Good Morning!<br /><br />My dip stick tube goes to the block. The tube that rises out of this drain plug has a screw cap about diameter of a nickel. You can unscrew the cap, stick the suction tube in and draw the oil out. <br />I never had much luck with the suction thing..so I removed the plug at the pan. <br /><br />But I welcome any help to stop the leak..I've been fighting it probably ever since I removed it the first time. <br />I have replaced the gasket and it did not help. <br /><br />Thanks again for the help!<br />Mark
There are actually 3 orings/gaskets on that fitting.<br />Item 66, 3851981<br />Item 68, 3853674<br />Item 81, 3852033<br />You might try all of them to cure your problem, if it doesn't work, just take the treaded bolt to your local NAPA store to get a plug, they can match the thread. <br /><br />
