Yeah, it'll rip the threads out of the sump after dissimilar metal corrosion occurs. I see about one every 2 months.

Thanks

I had a feeling that would be an issue
One of the reasons I went with a LN plug

Hi Jake. So a steel drain plug is a no-no?

I ask because I bought a plug that was recommended on here and I just checked it and it is steel (I have not installed it).

I am not sure what it currently in the car as I have not changed the oil since I got it.

My understanding is that the washer needs to be replaced every oil change. This new plug has a washer. Can I assume that will work?

Thanks in advance, John
