Additional information

This engine oil drain plug, part number 951-10370, screws into the oil pan on compatible lawn and garden equipment to seal the drain opening. When you want to change the engine oil, removing this plug lets the old oil flow out so you can refill with fresh oil.

If the drain plug threads become worn, damaged, or cross-threaded, oil can leak around the plug or drip from the drain area. You might notice oil spots under the machine or a low-oil condition if the plug does not seal properly.

Before servicing the oil, make sure the engine is cool and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental startup. Wear work gloves to protect your hands when handling the plug and draining oil. Make sure the plug is threaded in straight and tightened securely without over-tightening to avoid damaging the oil pan threads.
