Sized to the 3\/8 SAE plug standard, it measures 13\/32 inches (0.4062 inches) inside diameter and 5\/8 inches (0.6250 inches) outside diameter, with a 1\/16-inch thickness that compresses evenly against the drain port seating surface. Copper construction provides reliable crush-to-seal performance, resistance to petroleum-based fluids, and the ability to withstand the heat cycling typical of internal combustion engines. Automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, and equipment service professionals install this gasket as a standard consumable during oil change service to prevent drain plug weeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gasket fits 3\/8 SAE drain plug applications found on passenger vehicles, light trucks, small engines, and general mechanical equipment where a copper crush washer is the specified sealing method. It is a single-use consumable intended to be replaced each time the drain plug is removed and reinstalled. The package quantity of 50 units suits shop environments that perform frequent oil service work and need to stock an ample supply on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 SAE plug size for correct thread and port fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper material provides dependable crush-seal performance under heat and fluid exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13\/32 inches (0.4062 inches) inside diameter for accurate plug engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/8 inches (0.6250 inches) outside diameter ensures full coverage of the drain port seating face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/16-inch thickness delivers consistent compression without over-stressing the plug threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a 50-unit package quantity, suitable for shop stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8 SAE oil drain plugs on internal combustion engines and mechanical equipment that specify a copper crush washer gasket at the oil pan drain port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by automotive technicians and general mechanics as part of routine oil drain service. Always allow the engine to cool sufficiently before removing the drain plug to avoid contact with hot oil. Remove the old gasket completely before seating the new one, and inspect the drain plug seating surface for damage or debris prior to reinstallation. Copper crush gaskets are single-use components and should not be reused once compressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13\/32 inches (0.4062 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38870\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699594756402,"sku":"38870","price":40.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1427d514f6b55d22d7ee0fb7a4ae0c96.jpg?v=1788377975","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-38870-oil-drain-plug-gasket-3-8-sae","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
