what is the thread size for the oil drain plug.
im wanting to get the drain valve to make the oil changes a lil easier. has anyone haerd any good reviews about these valves from fumoto. i was alos looking at the fram valve and didnt like it. cus it starts to drain soon as you remove the cap and before you get a chance to add the hose. with the futumo you can add the hose then turn the valve with no mess.

they only list one for dodge cars on there FUM-F104
the only way someone would know is if they bought one, and if they bought one that means summit sold at least one for our cars...that should mean they should know the exact one you need when you order. i have a drainplug in my bolt box...if i remember i'll try to measure it

i know that. the hard thing is knowing the thread size on the plug.

well the thread is standard metric...it can only be metric or imperial unless you go to a weird thread size for some unexplainable reason. i'm guessing you just need the diameter of it more than anything eh? sorry but i couldnt find that old drain plug i had...

m12 x 1.5 sounds close, it is definetly m12 with either a 1.25 or 1.5 thread pitch, definetly not m12 x 1.75 they fit gm's.
