Damndude Posted Friday at 10:28 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:28 PM Since we bought this car the only "gasket" thats been on it appears to have been built into the drain plug. Do I just buy a new drain plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Unlike most of my past vehicles, I have never given it much thought. I think it is the same as my 2012 Fusion, an O-ring on the flat that contacts the pan. I did 60 oil changes on my previous car (a 2000 Grand Marquis, with 330,000 miles) with the same drain plug, I never swapped it or the O-ring. I am only at 150,000 on my Fusion (Sport, with the 3.5), and I also go closer to 10,000 miles (so far fewer oil changes), but I haven't seen any weeping or leaks from it either. Dorman and other aftermarket companies sell similar plugs for $1 - $3, some generic ones with harder plastic gaskets. There also seem to be replacement gaskets for about the same price.

1004ron Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) I've got 4 new seals in their original packaging and a good used plug from my wife's Mustang which we no longer have - free to a good home if you pay the USPS. Also a good deal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CGMPX2?creative=9325&camp=1789&linkCode=ur2&ie=UTF8&tag=slickdeals09-20&ascsubtag=f7a9e07c910011f08c5a9683d2ab67590INT&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1#averageCustomerReviewsAnchor Edited 6 hours ago by 1004ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
