The oil plug (or drain plug) on a vehicle's oil pan is essential, and throwing it away can cause issues. Your colleague might have told you that it's needed for:
-
Sealing the Oil Pan – It prevents oil from leaking out of the engine. Without it, the oil would drain completely, leading to severe engine damage.
-
Oil Changes – The plug is removed during an oil change to drain the old oil and must be reinstalled properly to keep the system sealed.
-
Magnetic Function (in some plugs) – Some oil plugs have a magnet that collects tiny metal shavings from engine wear, preventing them from circulating and causing damage.
Did you used to replace it every time, or were you just unaware of its importance?
