Its a good idea to replace your drain plug every time you change your oil. This ensures a leak free seal, and avoids rounding and stripping of threads. Turner Motorsports carries OE BMW plugs as well as magnetic plugs that attract and hold harmful metal shavings away from vital engine parts.
This drain plug is considered a one-time-use plug and must be replaced with every fluid change. Keep your oil pan leak free with a brand new plug from Elring. Replaces BMW # 11137605018
