1997 Ford F-150 - Engine Oil Drain Plug

Ford F-Series Oil Drain Plug

If your Ford F-Series is leaking oil, especially after a recent oil change, check the oil drain plug for leaks. The oil drain plug is most often found on the bottom of the engine oil pan. It is used to drain the old oil from the engine during an oil change. If you notice oil leaking from the oil plug, it might simply need a new gasket. If the oil pan has been cross threaded, you may need to replace the oil drain plug with an oversized unit. In some instances, an oversized oil drain plug will cut new threads to help you avoid the expense of replacing the entire oil pan. O'Reilly Auto Parts carries oil drain plugs, drain plug gaskets, and oversized oil drain plugs for your Ford F-Series to keep your truck leak-free.
