JB Weld might be a better option than threadlocker
You should have added it to the flat side of the pan (horizontally, instead of vertically) it'll drain more of the fluid out also if you put it as low as it can go. There is a flat part on the verticle side of the pan near where you drilled, between the solenoids. Also it wouldn't be as likely to get hit, brocken, or knocked off if it's coming out of the side of the pan rather than hanging straight down.
That was my thought, as well.
This is borderline worthless on the bottom of the pan, and a hazard it'll get sheared off as you said. Must leave at least a quart behind!
The "ladybug" at 2:59 was the star of the video!
good idea. didn't know something like this existed
I wouldnt trust this thing. It just looks like a handyman special
I tried one and they leaked.Weld a nut on the inside and use a good oil pan drain plug
this kit also works to add a 1/8" NPT temp sensor too.

How is it holding up. I've been thinking about doing this myself for a while.
Can I add this to Plastic Transmission Fluid Pan 2024 Nissan Frontier?
Sir, if you notice the the part that goes on the outside of the trans pan has a large flat where it meets the pan, that is where you the nylon washer goes, outside the pan. Putting it on the inside, the twisting force from tightening the nut can deform the the nylon gasket. Hopefully you get lucky and it doesn't leak or wheep. But kudos for trying to help others with an instructional video 👍

too bad the instruction dont say anything about what side it goes on. That was the reason i was looking for videos.

Great video man 👍🏼
Not only did I put these drain plug's on my transmission pan's, I also put them on my differential cover's.
great video.
Love the vids thanks..
i used your vid on the 57 dash cluster, on my 57 truck, wired exactly as you did have one problem i was hoping you would help me sort out
Q every thing works as expected except the turn signals are hot when keys the off and the key switch will not kill the engine.
Im thinking the wires from ing. Switch thought id ask an expert ty in advance
I purchased this. I ended up purchasing 2 copper washers and put them on BOTH the inside and outside of the pan. No leaks from there, but the actual drainplug leaks! I've tried using hi-temp thread sealant but it's still leaking.. UGH. My drainplug is an allen wrench as well.
Can you try to get some thread tape on it? Thats your best bet
I always dreaded the pans with no drain plug. I wonder if that divot next to the magnet was a place the factory would have put the drain but didn’t???
I thought the same thing... it didn't make the video, but I almost drilled the hole there. but the divot is deep and this plug needs a flat surface.
@@GODSPEEDGarage - Got cha. Yeah it did look like a good size dimple - you’d have to make your hole too big to remove the entire divot. Love your vids man. Wish I lived closer to you, we’d have to do something to one of our projects together.
@@Texasknowhow wow thanks! that means a lot... I'm guessing you're in Texas? if you ever find yourself in oregon hit me up!
@@GODSPEEDGarage - Will do. When I was an engineer at Intel I came to Hillsboro quite a bit. Yep we’re Texans - same invite to you and yours - hit me up if out this way.
The gasket goes on the outside. Straight threads will not seal out liquid. You need to rethink what you are doing. If it's not leaking you have good luck.
hmmm... you may be right... but B&M (the manufacturer) doesn't specify. and all the other photos and videos I saw had the gasket on the INSIDE. common sense tells me the gasket goes where the fluid is, like other gaskets... I've done this on a few pans and never had a problem. not saying you're wrong, but doing it this way has worked for me, and apparently others... anyone else can comment if they've had a problem, or have more information... thanks for watching and for your advice
@@GODSPEEDGarage Most likely the fluid is thick enough that you are not seeing any leaks but over time weeping? The next time you install a new one with no oil saturation, try filling the pan with water to see if it drips. Straight threads are not designed to hold liquid and not having the gasket on the flanged end therefore defeats the purpose of the gasket. At the point of the flange and pan interface, is just metal on metal. I personally do not want it installed this way especially in an off-road situation or driving in heavy rain (puddles) as water could migrate into the pan. Admit maybe splitting hairs here a bit but why not move the gasket for peace of mind? Thanks 👍
I know on aquarium bulkheads we put the gasket on the inside so I'd assume the same would work for here.
