I get my drain plugs by application - 2002 Ford Escort. They look identical to me.

brightoncorgi has a reputation beyond repute

I just ordered a V12 oil change kit (filter, plug, o ring) from Red Pants and it shipped the same day.

I looked at their prices briefly. Their kit did not include the o-ring. I have done business with Redpants before, so even if it were a few bucks more, I'd be apt to just buy it from him again.

Yup- understand. Did Redpants ship the parts in a timely manner? Lots of recent bad press with Rich - hoping he's bounced back so to speak.

I got a tracking number the same day. I haven't monitored it yet though.

I don't need the oil filter kit until November. Now that the local dealership is non-starter, I wanted to get the parts ahead of time.
