2.7L Oil Change Tips + Replacement Drain Plugs

[CARdiac]

Bought on Wednesday and delivered Friday. Very nicely made and no slop when turning it. There are no sharp edges and the o-ring on the cap is a nice touch.

Which one is that?

My Ronin plug was working perfectly for 20K miles and has now started to leak. Has anyone else had an issue like this?

Mine is still performing like new after 30,000 miles and oil changes every 5K-7K or so.

I change the oil every 5k as well, it started weeping from around the o-ring

Just throw a new o-ring on it next time. I know that what you pay for these things should last forever........but
Looking at all of the different ones to decide on what brand to purchase so I do appreciate hearing of potential problems

I just got dong doing my first oil change with my son. They were not lying about the oil coming out fast! We are talking like a fire hose fast . My son had the drain plug and I had the pan and we were ready and it didn’t even matter lol. Oil everywhere!

I put the Ronin plug in to make things easier and it went in just as prescribed. Very simple after watching this video on it.


I then used LiquiMoly Ceramtec and filled with LiquiMoly 5w-30 and a Motorcraft oil filter cartridge.

TAKE NOTE: The replacement Motorcraft oil filter does not have the black ends on it like the one you more than likely are replacing. That is ok and the correct part.

All in all. An exciting oil change and a little life lesson for my son.

Consider using the liquid Molly Molygen (green container). It has the CERATEC already in it.

Any review of the plug? Is it leaking/weeping at all?

I don't have a lot of miles on it yet, but let me see if I can grab a few photos.

The UPR plug has been on my Bronco for under 1000 but no issues. I went that route as i had it on my 21 F150 2.7 and it was solid for over 8k miles. I sold that and got the Bronco or I’d have had more miles on it. I wish i got the plug a lot sooner for the truck.

No weeps so far and I think I'll be able to loosen it and attach the drain hose when I need to change the oil without removing the skid plate.

I apologize if this has already been discussed, but can anyone tell me differences between these three plugs from UPR? Are they revisions/improvements, or just different features?

Speed
Easy (newer?)
Easy (older?)
