My plug leaks and the VERY NEXT oil change I planned on taking it into the store to find a replacement. Now I don't have to wait, I can get it prior to the change!

Thanks for the post! :supz:

15mm socket may be the size to remove the plug, but when purchasing the oil pan plug, request M12-1.75. I installed mine about two hours ago, here's to hoping it doesn't leak any longer.

your right - I needed to clarify - 15mm is the bolt size for its removal - sorry.

ahhh, glorious days… about 100 miles and not a drop! I'll pick up some additional washers for future plugs leaks that may arise. I don't suspect having to ever change the bolt again.
