Hi all
I'm coming up to another oil change on the '18 GT and I'd like to move away from the fragile yellow OEM plastic Ford plug. I did some reading on this forum about the Femco product(s). From what I gathered, the M12x1.75 brass drainers will do the trick. With the horizontal fitment into the sump, I'm guessing I wouldn't need to get the compact model, and could go for the standard size model?
Does anyone know if this is the correct part / will this part fit? - https://www.femco.com/standard-sb-6090010004-m12x1-75-t9/
Where I'm a bit confused; there also appears to be this Femco product - https://www.femco.com/product/ford-oil-plug/ - and I was just unsure as to why. Is it just personal preference which you'd like to use? I'd hate to buy the wrong part. From what I can see basically one is solid brass and the other is plastic with brass internals.
I do wonder if https://www.femco.com/product/ford-oil-plug/ would be the better choice to avoid over tightening into the plastic sump - using a more OEM style fastening.
Thanks.
