How to Replace an Oil Plug

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Doug, I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now that we've drained all the oil, we start by draining the oil pan first so that it can dribble while you're wrestling with the oil filter. So now he's got the oil plug done, we always replace the oil plug seal, gasket. If you buy your parts from a dealer, they'll have the seal with the oil filter and stuff when you buy it. If you buy it at a parts store it may not, it's not critical but we like to do it. And now Dave is cleaning everything off real nice so that his work looks good. Not a whole lot more to this, he's just going to clean things up here. You can go ahead and make a mark if you're doing a full service on the car, you can make a mark on there with a pen or something to keep track of what you have done and what you haven't."
