2023 Z Note: NISMO has not yet confirmed to us whether this drain plug will fit the new VR30DDTT equipped Nissan Z® or not. We are still working to confirm fitment, and will update this page once verified either way.

Includes:

(1) NISMO Logo Magnetic Oil Pan Drain Plug
(1) Reusable Sealing Washer

Description:
Magnetic oil drain plugs help to capture and hold metal particles as they drain to the oil pan. This helps keep them from being drawn into the oil pump and re-circulating, which can result in engine damage. In addition, you'll be able to detect the deterioration of engine parts in advance by noting any buildup of particles on the magnet. This Genuine NISMO drain plug fits several models of VG and VQ engines and includes one reusable* sealing washer.

Features:

Heat-resistant neodymium magnet maintains stable magnetic force even in high temperature environments (such as inside an engine).
Constructed using an aluminum alloy for strength and light weight.
Finished in high-grade alumite for improved aesthetics and corrosion resistance.
Insert structure prevents magnets from interfering with the internal engine components.
Reusable sealing washer included; no more buying replacement washers every oil change!

Installation Notes:
This drain plug has a very low torque spec for installation compared to the original plug, which requires 25 ft-lb. We recommend installing the plug by hand first (but only until resistance is felt), then follow NISMO's torque spec using an appropriate torque wrench. Given the low setting, it may be easier to achieve the correct torque (and prevent over-torqueing) using an inch-pound torque wrench instead.

Dimensions and Specifications:

Torque Spec: 6.61 - 8.82 lbf (79.32 - 105.84 in-lbf)
Thread Size: M12 x P1.25
Thread Length (under head): 20mm
Hex Head Width Across Flats: 17mm

Sealing Washer Note Note:
Do you need a replacement washer for this drain plug? Nissan has confirmed that the standard copper crush washer washer can be used in place of the reusable sealing washer included with this NISMO plug. Note that the included sealing washer is reusable as long as the plug is not over-torqued (or lost). See 10-2608 in Related Items if you need a replacement washer.
