SMART-O ECO-FRIENDLY DRAIN PLUGS

The SMART-O oil drain plug is the ultimate solution to safeguard vehicles against potentially costly mishaps.

o Safe sealing function:

Heat resistant material, expands upon contact with engine oil, acting as an extra seal to reduce the risk of oil leakage through the threads.

o Anti-vibration function:

O-Ring grips tightly into threads, virtually eliminating self-loosening of the plug caused by vibration.

Smart functions:

o Environmentally friendly:

Significantly reduces oil leaks into the environment - motor oil is the main water pollutant in the US. It only takes four quarts, or about one oil change, of used motor oil to foul one million gallons of drinking water. The plug is safe for re-use, requiring fewer replacements.

o Thread guard:

O-Ring reduces the need for excess torquing - less risk of damaging oil pan’s threads and costly repairs.

o Effective inventory system:

Head marking works with the convenient SMART-O wall box system, allowing users to quickly identify and manage plugs for a large number of car models; no mix up, less inventory, saved time for correct installation.
