Oil Plug

[Pnutt]

Any one have problems with there oil plug leaking after a oil change ?

If so what did you do to fix it?

Mine is tight but seams it is leaking around the gasket on the plug.

The gasket needs replacing ever so often. If you are quick you won't even need to drain all the oil.:D

If you have a shop-vac you dont need to be quick. Try this simple trick before you snicker at me for my idea:kidding: Ok now for the trick: First you need two people, A shop-vac, and a shop rag.
Open the oil fill cap on the motor, Place the shop rag over the hose for the vac, Either hold the rag tought with your hand or use a big hose-clamp, Turn the vac on and place the hose over the oil fill opening, The sound of the vac should change and it should seal over the opening, Then have your buddie go and remove the oil drain plug while you hold the hose, No oil should come out and you should hear a watery-sucking-sound. As long as you keep the vac running you should have all the time in the world to change the gasket. And it this doesn't work for you then you have done it wrong and its not my fault for the oily mess now laying in your drive-way.
I came up with this trick while i was working at good 'old JIFFYLUBE$ We had so many come backs for this that I got sick of draining fresh oil just to put more back in. And it worked every time I have done it.
p.s the shop rag keeps your vac clean.
