Fisher Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 It seems like a small matter, but I don't like the way Volvo has chamfered the corners on the wrench end of the oil plug. It seems they made it where it is already half way to rounded off! The last few oil changes have gotten it another quarter of the way there. Anyone have a replacement they like? It would be nice if the wrench flats were a little longer too. Not really looking for a magnetic plug--although i'm not opposed to using one. Seems the replacements I have seen have been made the same as the OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I replace the oil drain plugs on all my vehicles with Fumoto drain valves. They greatly siimplify oil changes.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
