About the piece:
The Engine Oil Drain Plug and Washer are two small but important components of the engine oil system. The plug is the screw responsible for draining the engine oil from the crankcase during maintenance, while the washer ensures a tight seal and prevents oil leakage.
Its function:
- Oil Drain: The navel is used to drain old oil from the engine crankcase during oil change.
- Prevent oil leakage: The rose acts as a gasket that ensures a tight seal to prevent oil leakage from the crankcase.
- Crankcase Protection: Prevents oil leaks and maintains oil system performance.
Life expectancy:
- Rose: It is recommended to replace it with every oil change to ensure a tight seal.
- Navel: It lasts a long time if it is not damaged or worn, but it is preferable to check it periodically.
Symptoms of damage:
- Oil Leak: Notice oil spots under the car due to damage to the caliper or rose.
- Difficulty closing or opening: This may be due to erosion or damage to the navel teeth.
