Value Collection 38876 Oil Drain Plug Gasket 1/2 Sae

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38876 is a copper oil drain plug gasket designed to provide a reliable, leak-free seal at the engine oil drain plug. Sized to the 1/2 SAE standard, it measures 33/64 inches (0.5156 inches) inside diameter and 45/64 inches (0.7031 inches) outside diameter, with a 1/32-inch thickness. The soft copper construction conforms under torque load to fill minor surface imperfections on the drain plug boss, preventing seepage after an oil change. This is a consumable service part, intended for single use and replacement at each drain interval. Automotive technicians, fleet maintenance crews, and service shop professionals keep these on hand as a routine service item.

This gasket fits 1/2 SAE drain plugs commonly found on engine oil pans across a wide range of passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small equipment. It is well-suited for use in high-volume oil change operations where consistent fitment and a dependable seal on every service ticket matter. The 50-piece pack quantity supports shop-level inventory without overstocking.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive or small-equipment technicians during routine oil change service. Always drain the oil completely and allow the engine to cool to a safe handling temperature before removing the drain plug. Remove the old gasket and inspect the drain plug and pan seating surface for damage before installing the new gasket. Use a torque wrench and follow the manufacturer-specified torque value for the drain plug; copper gaskets are single-use and should not be reused after removal.
