Title: Oil plug madness
Post by Redryder652 on 06/04/16 at 10:53:17

I'd like to get a magnetic oil plug for my savage, I've seen the cheap aluminum ones on flebay, but I want to steer clear of them. I would like one made of steel or something of that sort and a flange, like the original, which ones do you use? And is length an issue if it's shorter than stock? I've heard good stuff about goldplug, but I don't know which one to get.

Thanks In advance. :)

I haven't used one....but I would not buy one shorter than the OEM one. The case is aluminum and you want as many threads in use as possible.

no, it's more like the original plug.
flangeless, big washer.

Thanks, aren't you worried though without the flange the first few threads might get screwed? Or is it not an issue?

I've been screwing a long time and I've never needed a flange to get started. Flanges are for stopping.

I just keep my oil changed regularly. I really shouldn't need a magnetic plug with fresh oil and a clean filter.

Should/shouldn't,,,machines don't care. When stuff starts failing, it may Not know how much care it has been given.

Take, whatever, determine the depth of the threads.
Buy a plug with enough threads to fill it.

Get Rotella 15-40,

Run the Snot outta that thing.
