3. Using the correct size wrench, carefully loosen and remove the oil drain plug.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: Verify your engine model and year against the "Compatible Engine Models" list above. You can also compare your existing part number to those in the "Part Number Cross-Reference" table to ensure it is a direct replacement.

Q: How often should I replace it?
A: It is highly recommended to use a new crush gasket with every oil change. This ensures a fresh, tight seal and prevents potential oil leaks.

Q: What are the signs of a failing or reused gasket?
A: The most common sign is a slow drip or leak of oil from the drain plug area. Reusing a gasket compresses it beyond its single-use design, preventing it from creating a proper seal.
