Oil Drain Plug

[Maximus Gladius]

No magnet on this one. I do place a couple earth magnets next to it the fitting then when I screw the hose fitting on, I pull the magnets and let the flow of the oil take any filings with it.

You need a new crush washer.

This is what I have. I had the Fumoto system before and prefer this one.

Other than maybe contacting the site, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. I didn’t get mine from the site but was at the Cummins dealer in Calgary and saw it being sold there. The parts guy looked it up and ordered me the plug. This is my second one. The first one, I swapped out the fumoto valve on my Tacoma for this one. Absolutely love them.

Did you ever figure this out ?

I was looking at the Fumoto, but I believe the Diesel (after 05/2020) uses a
M18-1.0 plug and Fumoto seems to only have the M14-1.5.

What was your experience ?
Thanks

I have this for mine, and it works, though you could use another angle; I just wanted to avoid it hanging down since I step on rocks.

I haven't installed one because I'm scared that I might hit it off roading. Low hanging fruit to a rock.

Diesel ?

Oh, I hear you
That's why I took the angled one, and it looks sideways so it doesn't hang lower than the pan.

Like I said, I'm often on the rocks. That picture was taken before installing it. If a rock hits the oil pan at the right angle, it can pierce or slice it open, so I'm not too worried about the cap. I was lucky it only deformed the oil pan there. The real solution is a proper bash plate protecting the oil pan and, thus, the cap.

I saw the , thanks. Does that mean that you have a diesel ? What year ?

From my understanding, the diesel requires a M18-1.0. The M14-1.5 applied to the 05/2020 and older models.

@AllMoparParts.com
any clarification ?

I'm sorry. I thought you figured it out afterward. It's on the picture itself (2022 Wrangler Diesel), under my profile on the side, and this is in the Diesel section of the forum .

So, yes, I installed it on a 2022 Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel (February build). I can check my OEM drain plug against my pitch tool if you want to confirm the 1.5 pitch. But between M14 and M18 alone, there's a 4mm diameter difference, so there's no way I could have slotted that inside and started threading the bolt in.

Hope this helps.

It does, somewhat, I'm still confused, but that's not your fault.

Sorry I couldn't tell from the front angle, I'm not that good... I totally missed what sub forum it was in... maybe give me a pass, I'm a JT owner

Nah if you're sure your sure.

My research was for the JT, maybe that's the difference ?
BUT
The part# is 06513414AA and I thought it covers a range of models.

I had my local dealership measure the length of the one they pulled up and it was 1", leading us to believe it was a M18.

Ok, I think I understand where the confusion comes from:

Your dealer has mixed up the length of the bolt and its diameter. M4, M10, and M18 are all different gauges, like a #10 and a #4 SAE screw. In other words, it is a measure of the diameter of the thread. A full screw specification would have 3 numbers, diameter (gauge), pitch, and length. If you measured a 1" long screw, then it just tells that it's a 1" long screw, nothing about diameter or thread pitch.

e.g., M18x1.5x20 would be a M18 screw with a 1.5mm pitch that is 20mm long.
The pitch in metric screws is the distance between threads, while in SAE, it's how many threads are in one inch (much more confusing to me).

Play a bit on McMaster if you like; this can be helpful, in my opinion:

P.S: For that part on the Mopar website:

[M18 x 1.0]. [M14x1.50x21.50]. Used Up To 05/22/2020. -NAM ( with Out Mexico).

I agree that it is confusing and does not tell you which is what. I believe that they meant to say is

Screw	Date
M18 x 1.0 x ??	Up to 05/22/2020
M14x1.50x21.50	Starting 05/23/2020

Thank you.
Great explanation.

If you look at the attachment from Mopar Parts, it only shows M18-1.0 , so I'm unsure of the 3rd measurement.

I agree, the dealership and I both mis-measured.

I'm thinking you are correct, the more I inquire, seems M14-1.5 is what the newer models are using.

If this is indeed the case (which I hope it is) this opens up more opportunities.

Thanks a bunch for your time and effort.

No worries mate, cheers

Yes the length, of the bolt. But I wouldn’t worry about it too much if it’s long enough that all the threads on the oil pan are engaged and not too long that it collide with something in it. Now, for the Fumoto it’s a bit more important since one would leave it in place, if it’s too long it won’t drain all of the oil.
