long oil plug?
« on: May 29, 2008, 12:51:41 AM »
Hypothetically if one was to change the oil plug for another one that fits but is a bit longer...would there be any issues?

Thanks

Is grinding the new one down an option?

If it has a magnet in it, like the OEM one, it will be higher in the pan and might not catch particles a well, other than that, and providing it clears, it should be OK.
