I want to replace the yellow-plastic oil drain plug that came with my 2019 XL Ford 150. I am concerned that there is a good "unstated" reason or unforgiving language in the warranty that would negate my warranty. Anyone have experience with this kind of issue? The way I see it, the replacement I have in mind would be an improvement over the FMC issued plastic plug and more convenient for DIY oil changer types like myself. BTW, the swap would be to a RONIN oil change plug.
Thank you in advance for any insightful shares

 

The only thing I could think of if it failed, or you had problems related to oil flow... the case could be made that the root cause could be related to the aftermarket plug.

 

I can only think of a situation where your 'improved' plug fell out and your pan drained while you were driving.


We need to remember that if you have Ford changing your oil, the oil change people are too stupid to know the plug isn't OEM and would never even have a reason to deny you. LOL Yes, that comment is 100% sarcastic!

 

Thx for your helpful reply, I agree with you. I am reasoning that engine failure, caused by an insufficient quantity of engine oil, would the trigger to suspect/implicate any replacement plug. As long as I avoid a loss of oil at the Ronin plug, my warranty should not be challenged.

 

I see your point and I hope that the oil pressure warning system never fails! Thx for your comment and witty sarcasim:-D
