I just did a newer turbo V6 ford pickup with a similar design, I've been putting a drop of 3m weatherstripping adhesive on the plug, after it's tight. Just gives me a little security against loosening.

The whole pan is plastic too. The Buick Envista and Chevrolet Trax all have this. I see so many videos where people seem to be bragging how good these vehicles are. This is how the bean counters cheapened these vehicles with plastic parts.

Yeah, I just can't believe it. It's garbage.

With this model? None, thankfully haven't seen many in my shop. It's just my experience with plastics and engine parts in general, but a drain plug gets used much more frequently than other parts.

my 2023 already leaks oil like crazy from the plastic drain pan and when I change the oil I am always nervous about the plug because it doesnt even seem to snug up tight, like a quarter turn to undo it....seems like some good road vibrations and the thing could just fall out. considering what they charge for these trucks I would think it would make sense to not have such a weak point. not everyone can just replace a truck every couple years. I have 36k on mine in one year and already been in to the shop twice for fairly major issues. I am not impressed .

They sell replacement drain plugs. - Sell is the key word. Why make them from steel that lasts forever? Money. They probably save some on molding plastic over bending steel. It is still wrong. But the real fun is when you remove that plug. Never have I had oil 'fling' in every direction. Well, 360 degree spin. Redic.

I thought I would see you remove that plug. You wasted my time.

What? You just wasted my time. The plug removal is just a half turn, the video is about how stupid the construction and material used.

use an extension on a socket wrench (with no socket) put the square end of the extension into the drain plug and turn it half a turn counter clockwise. hope that helps!
