Oil drain plug BROKEN from the factory

So I performed the VERY FIRST oil change on my Rap tonight and discovered that the plastic drain plug was broken. No way this happened while driving as she hasn’t left the pavement AND there was a stout metal plate generously protecting the area (and unscathed). I think it’s fair to say it left the factory this way. Will be going to the dealer tomorrow morning for a replacement under warranty.

They run about $1.50 retail. If you change you own oil order a few spares to keep on hand. Eventually you will break one.

Doesnt surprise me at all. Hope to see some company come out with new oil pan and transmission pan.

It's a plastic drain plug

C'mon

Looks like the "neck" it goes into is damaged as well.

Sharp eye. It does have a minor chip at the bottom. Nothing serious enough though for me to hand it over to the dealer for a week while they repair it.

The why ya bitchin about it?

Wow, these puppies are hard to find. Out of 10 or so local dealers only ONE had ONE in stock.

I take it that the dealers usually never replace these during oil changes.

At only $2 a piece, I’ll be ordering some extras.
