Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or service technician following equipment manufacturer drain plug torque specifications. Always drain the oil fully and allow the drain plug area to cool before handling. Remove the old gasket completely and inspect the drain plug seating surface for damage or debris before installing the new gasket. Do not reuse a previously compressed copper gasket, as repeated compression reduces sealing effectiveness.
