We're good no leaks after 40 mile drive! I've had a couple beers to celebrate. A few beers to celebrate. I've drank myself and my girlfriend into being stranded Her parents house. Mistakes have been made.

Now this drain looks like over tightening to "fix" a cracked plastic gasket... I think I see the 2 cracks in the gasket held between fingers.
The safe bet is to replace these drain nut gaskets every oil change... Or at least clean them very well and check them for cracks or damage. Nothing worse in this business of PM maintenance than having to redo it because we skipped a step.:mad::mad::mad::rolleyes:

Yes!!! It drains a little slower but that gives you time to grease all of your zerks. I have one on mine...my oil pan threads will never wear out or be a concern.

I love it every time I have to service the Cat it's slow but gives me time to do the hydraulic filter etc.
