Chrome Oil Pan Drain Plug

The MOROSO Chrome Oil Pan Drain Plug (part number 97000) is a magnetic drain plug engineered for engine maintenance work where reliable fluid containment and particle capture matter. This 1/2-20 inch threaded drain plug features a 3/4-inch hex head for secure grip and easy installation or removal, paired with a nylon washer that creates a dependable seal against oil seepage. The integrated magnetic core captures ferrous metal particles suspended in used oil, providing early diagnostics of internal wear patterns that preventive maintenance programs depend on.

Chrome plating on steel construction delivers corrosion resistance across engine bays where moisture and salt spray accelerate oxidation on bare steel. The 1/2-20 thread specification is a common industry standard for light-duty and mid-range small-block applications. The magnetic design serves a dual function: it retains fine ferrous debris that would otherwise circulate through bearings and critical surfaces, while simultaneously providing a visual record of engine health through particle analysis. Technicians routinely inspect collected particles to identify developing problems before catastrophic failure occurs.

This drain plug is suited for shop mechanics, DIY enthusiasts performing routine oil changes, and engine rebuilders who understand the value of ferrous particle monitoring. The chrome finish resists rust formation over multiple service cycles, supporting long-term oil pan longevity. Weighing 0.08 pounds, it integrates seamlessly into standard drain procedures without adding complexity or cost. MOROSO positions this plug as a straightforward upgrade from basic steel options, offering magnetic diagnostics and corrosion resistance in a single component.
