Drain Plug Size

Determining drain plug size and pitch.

Typically many newer vehicles have metric drain plugs. There are several
ways you can measure. You might try to bring your plug to a fastener house
to measure it or ask the dealer. Screwing a nut on the drain plug has also
worked to determine the size. If you have a measuring instrument like a
veneer caliper you can measure across the threads.

We also have a printable bolt chart that you could align the plug to get the
size and thread pitch. http://www.timesert.com/html/faq.html#22
This page of bolts will probably not look like your drain plug but that’s not
a problem what we are looking at is the thread size and pitch.
