will you still be able to thread it in with the lever and stuff attached?

 

only one way to find out...and if not, its certainly no big deal to grind the surrounding fins easily, since aluminum won't put up much of a fight

 

hey adam, you should start carrying these as well for the lazy people

 

yea, i know what ya mean, taking that pan off is such a ***** i cracked off a fin in the process!

 

mine is striped and I try unbolting it but all it does is spin spin spin but wont come off. Im leaking oil cause of this!!

 

If you cannot get the bolt out, then drop the oil pan and take it to a machine shop. They can remove the bolt and then install a helicoil for you. You will not have this problem again with the helicoil installed.

 

Thanks for the info guys..I've had a fumoto on my 1 ton dually for over 250K miles..never had an issue and never has it ever opened on its own..thanks for posting the pics with the part number! I just ordered one for my Z with the aps pan...

 

I hope I don't have this problem........

 

dont think helicoil will do good for my aps oil pan mine sits rather too low

 

I did the exact same thing, the bolt would not come out so we took the oil pan off and did it that way, we then put a helicoil in and it has been good ever since.

 

hmm i guess im buying a helicoil thanks acg

 

ian...I have the Fumoto on my APS pan with no issues.Here's a pic

 

wow that looks great. I just bought one and a local shop is doing it for me.

 

update!! Just received my quick oil drain valve and it was stock thread size!! Called the company and they are sending me a 16mm thread size and give this one for free.

 

CRAP..I made the same mistake! I ordered the -103 and it won't fit the APS pan!! So its a 16MM thread that is the correct size for the APS????

 

they put in the 16mm and works fine. Wont fit directly and they had to rethread to a bigger and works perfect

 

You need the F-106 which is 14mm x 1.5 thread pitch.

The APS drain plug that comes with the APS pan is a 14mm. The OEM pan is 12mm. So long as the drain hole in the APS pan has not been stripped you can use the 14 mm Fumoto.If it is stripped, tap the hole out and go with the 16mm Fumoto

I replied back to your PM

 

Correct. I did the exact thing.

 

thanks coach! Got your PM..preciate it..

 

Which one did you get?
