Oil Drain Plug Repair Kit Metric M13 M15 M17 M20 M22 - 150pc Repair

In this review the Orion Motor Tech 150pc Oil Drain Plug Repair Kit is evaluated for DIY mechanics and professional technicians who need a quick fix for stripped oil pan threads. The bottom line: it is a practical, compact kit that restores damaged drain threads fast and keeps the vehicle leak-free, because it includes taps, crush washers and replacement hex sump plugs in the five most common metric sizes, plus a carry case for organization. For anyone needing a straightforward rethreading solution, this kit delivers usable parts and clear taps that make the job simple.

Key Features

• M5 metric range: Includes taps and drain plugs in M13, M15, M17, M20 and M22 to cover the most common oil pan thread sizes on passenger cars and light trucks.
• Durable materials: Taps and crush washers are made of carbon steel and aluminum for reliable handling during repeated use.
• Plated drain plugs: Hex sump plugs are zinc plated for improved strength and corrosion resistance where exposed to oil and road conditions.
• Easy rethreading: Each tap has sharp threads that cut clean and allow easier chip removal so the repair is swift and consistent.
• Complete hardware: The kit supplies crush washers and replacement drain plugs so a full repair (not just cutting threads) is possible in one visit.
• Portable case: A fitted carrying case keeps all 150 pieces organized for transport between jobs or storage in a shop drawer.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at DIY enthusiasts, home mechanics and small shop owners who routinely change oil and may encounter stripped oil pan threads. It is especially useful for owners of European and Japanese makes listed among common fits, and for anyone who prefers repairing the existing pan rather than replacing it.

Those who need specialty or larger commercial thread repairs, or who require factory-spec replacement oil pans, should look elsewhere; this kit focuses on rethreading and replacement sump plugs for common metric sizes, not on pan replacement or non-metric thread standards.

• Quality materials and zinc plating give decent durability for workshop use.
