I have the plastic plug and love it,6 oil changes same plug no leaks all with hand no tools push and turn.
If you change your own oil this is a must have item for the 2.7L ecoboost. The force the oil comes out with when you pull off the stock plug makes a huge mess. I've had this plug for about two years and actually just changed my oil. It was still a bit hot, but wasn't an issue. Tremendous product!
Happy to hear you are enjoying it! 🤘
I’ll have one of these to install before my next oil change.
I just got an answer to my comment. Thanks, they do sell replacement tools.
I was told I can store in glovebox, so I would not lose.
I don't want some oily tools in my glove box. Again, I would lose the tool. Want to be superstars, Redesign the plug to work without the special tool. It's a great idea, just need to be fine tuned.
A great idea , but this needs to be designed so that all old oil exits the pan even if the truck is sitting on level ground when you change it.
Just got one of these for Christmas. Can't wait to get it installed and finally have a clean oil change for once...
Lifesaver. I went through 3 of the plastic plugs with constant leaks so I got this one because I liked the idea of not screwing and unscrewing plugs all the time. It works great! No problems whatsoever
Thanks for the feedback! 🙌
I just did my first oil change on my 2020 Mustang GT using this system. It was a very controlled oil change. And no more worries about having to get a new OEM oil drain plug (especially in these supply chain shortage times).
⁸⁸⁷! q fp
Best thing i ever purchased. Not a drop of oil anywhere after the change. 2021 F150 2.7 ecoboost.
Thanks for your recent purchase!
all you should know thank you very much do an oil reset it soo easy u tube it why don't these people say this I have an 2020 150 XLT XTR grrrr thank you ! i love my F 150
Considering purchasing your product but did have a question. How do you get rid of the metal shavings that accumulate on the magnetic tip?
You can remove the plug (following the correct removal instructions) if you want to clean off the magnet or you can leave it. It is not necessary to clean the magnet but I do understand the OCD in all of us wants to see what is collected.
Dude, let it stop dripping before you wipe it 30 times as it still drips
He mentioned he was just wiping out dirt. He wasn't that worried about every last drop of oil.
Not crazy about needing to use the adapter when needing to drain the oil.
@Ronin Factory I've read reviews of this plug causing damage to the composite locking tabs on the inside of the oil pan where the detent is. The reviews cite the cause being sharp corners in detent section. On the low side, this causes a small, constant leak. On the high side, this causes a very costly oil pan replacement. In the years that this product has been offered, have you ever updated the design of the detent? Have you seen a sizable number of damaged composite oil pans? I'm very interested in the plug, however, I will not risk damaging the oil pan.
I have seen this product installed on 3 different Broncos (mine, my son’s and my neighbor)! No leaks, No Problems! These are installed once and should never need to be removed! I find it highly unlikely that these are damaging oil pans upon initial installation. In my opinion, the people writing those reviews either installed the plug incorrectly (there is definitely a likelihood of this occurring) or they are removing and reinstalling the plug multiple times! My son and i have had this product for almost 2 yrs (i have performed 5 oil changes so far) with not even one drop of oil afterwards!
@@Bacnow I purchased one on Black Friday for like $40-ish, however, I met another person, in real life (an actual car guy), and he had damaged his oil pan. I haven't installed mine yet because I'm just so skeptical especially since they didn't respond here or to any of my questions in email or from their contact page.
@@kylegeldmaker - I understand your cautiousness! UPR has designed 4 different plugs that work for the Bronco! Maybe you should look at the ‘UPR Ford Speed Oil Drain Valve’ (their latest iteration)! That one would be the plug that i would choose if i were making that decision currently! I personally believe that their are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of aftermarket plugs in service on plastic Ford oil pans (especially F150s) and that the faulty issues may lie in Ford’s notorious reputation for QC and ever-so-slight variations in the pan’s workmanship which may affect the aftermarket plug’s ability to seal effectively! Either way, i’m never going back to the disposable plastic OEM plugs!
Hi, Sorry I don't get notifications of these comments, we handle customer emails very quickly thought. To answer your question: We have sold over 50,000 of these in the last 4 years. We have seen a very small percent of people who had damaged the small tabs of the oil pan. When I say small, I mean, less than 10. And the reason for the damage was always user error. They removed the plug (attempted to) without 1st pushing against the wave spring. Instead they just torqued on it with a big pliers and it stripped the plastic tabs. This is why we have a warning on our website on how to remove it. We advise customers not to remove the plug if they dont have to, so as long as you aren't constantly removing it, you remove all risk of accidentally damaging the plastic pan. It is totally fine to remove the plug if you want to, you just have to do it properly.
here's the thing about the factory plug. The old style has an indentation for a 3/8s ratchet or breaker bar to fit into so that you can tighten the plug. The 'updated' one has a plastic tab to tighten with. You could use a pair of pliers to tighten the plug but in theory the plastic could break. But the real problem is that they are made in China and a lot of them leak. A small constant leak. I put one in and now I going to try this thing from Ronin. I hate oil leaks.........
ps. I bought the plastic plug from Amazon. Never again
your first problem is using a ratchet or pliers to put the plug in, it’s supposed to go in by hand you will hear a click and feel it lock. the 3/8 insert is only to loosen the plug and get it passed the lock.
I bought a new 2020 Mustang GT and installed one of these Ronin drain plugs on it about 7 months ago. I had no problems with leaks during that time. And I just did my first oil change with the Ronin and had no problems to report. The draining of the oil was controlled and went as smooth as silk.
The seal is in the surface of the o-ring and the cylinder the plug is inserted into. Doesn't matter how much you tighten the plug it will not affect the seal
Please make one of these for the GM - L3B 2.7L Turbo with plastic pans and plastic plugs!
Just put in this Ronin oil drain plug on 2019 Ford Mustang 5.0 engine, and it is a perfect fit!!!! Thanks to Ronin for this great product, hate the yellow plastic plug that came with car, one of the tabs immediately broke off taking standard yellow drain plug out. Ronin really fills a need to replace those plastic plugs that come standard with new Ford Raptors and Ford Mustangs. Thanks guys, product was a perfect fit and will not have to struggle with any more oil mess on the next oil change!!!!
Installed this when I installed my RCI skid plates just did my first oil change with this. I never want to go back to the old way. Why aren't these stock yet.
This piece will leave more dirty oil in the pan. The smaller hole raises the minimum level by 1/8" ~1/2 qt.
Make sure you’re changing the oil on an incline to allow more oil to drain.
@@Painfulwhale360 Yup!
2018 F150 3.5
Installed it and 6K later at oil chg. saw some drips. Install appeared correct. Rubber washer issue? Metal washer issue? This thing is $80, What’s the fix
I loved my truck until i changed the oil the 1st time. What a nightmare of plastic crap! I like the idea you have here but sometimes I get the shop to change my oil when some other service is happening. I have ZERO confidence that the mechanic wouldnt destroy that thing trying to figure it out.
I took mine in for service and gave the guy the drain tool when he put the cap back on he cranked on with so much torque the tabs broke and the plug won't stay on ,I hope I can fix it with a quarter inch Molly bolt and a 1 inch rubber plug
The Dorman pan savers don't come in 1 inch as of now
Do they supply a lifetime supply of the special drain tool? After the first oil change, it would get lost. I read in the comments this drain plug cost $80. I wonder what they charge for the special tool when you lose it.
Simply keep the drain key in your trucks glove box and you'll never have to worry about losing it. We do offer replacements if you happen to lose it so you don't have to buy an entire new product again.
@@RoninFactory How do I contact Ronin so I can buy a replacement drain key? Thank you.
If you have wheel locks on your car, would you lose the wheel key for it as well?
I'm buying one of these for my new F150 and my wife's Edge. I assume it's the same part for both?
As long as it is the yellow plastic drain plug, this should fit. Ford uses the same yellow plastic plug across all their vehicles.
Do you only make one plug for the Fords which is one size fits all?
We currently only make these for the Ford vehicles.
I have thought about getting on of these however i and worry about the size of the drain
It will take longer to drain and we recommend to tilt the vehicle so that the oil naturally drains toward the drain hole to get the max amount of old oil out.
Is the orientation of the plug really important? Shouldn't it be fine if the logo is upside down, or am I missing something?
The directional orientation is designed to ensure that the plug is fully seated in the locked position based upon the inner locking tabs of the oil pan!
If the logo is upside down that is also OK. It just should not be at any other position other than right side up or upside down.
Can you take the ronin out to service the O ring?
Yup, we sell replacement o-rings but if its not leaking, we recommend to not fix it!
is the whole plug made of aluminum?
Yes and stainless steel as well.
Le queda a mi ford f-150 2015 ecoboost 2.7
Stupid Ford, plastic oil pans. Whats next, a plastic block??
Yeah...$80, I'll pass. OEM part is $2. I've done several oil changes already with no need to change original oil plug.
One reply said the oe plug is $7 and you claim it is $2. At $2 per 5,000 miles I can buy a bag of 40 plugs and dispose of the oe plug every oil change, that gets me to 200,000 miles on $80. At $7 per plug I can buy a bag of 11 plugs and dispose of it every 4th oil change, that gets me to 220,000 miles on $80.
I really like the design, but I can't get it past my internal bean counter.
@@christianjensen3182 just exactly where can you buy that yellow OEM PLUG for $2-7?
Why in the world would anyone build a drain plug like this one from the factory? I am interested to see if anyone can enlighten me as to what was wrong with the old drain plug system that screwed into the oil pan. And people buy these poorly engineered vehicles!
People who buy these trucks aren't exactly researching where the damn oil plug is placed.🙄🙄🙄
These trucks have a plastic oil pan, which means a normal threaded plug would not work, as it would very quickly strip out the threads. So ford designed this bizarre oil plug. The real question should be why the hell did ford start using plastic oil pans??
Bobbywolf64 weight savings
Called the dealership its a deterrent so you don't want to do it yourself.
They want the money
Seriously
Too complicated and a tool to lose.
$80 for this plastic drain plug. Seriously!
There are no plastic pieces in our product. It is billet aluminum and stainless steel. As for the price, it is a one-time cost that solves a problem and never needs servicing, unlike the OEM plastic plug that needs to be replaced, which will cost more over the life of the vehicle.
Thanks for the clarification.
It seemed a bit excessive for plastic.
More Ford plastic junk what a stupid design Ford cheaps out on every thing 80000 for truck made of plastic every where they can built Ford junk
I thought about building one myself and marketing it. Then I found ronin. Mine is in the mail currently.
I just ordered one.
I expect this product, once word gets out to catch on like wild fire.
will this work for a 2015 edge sport 2.7L ecoboost?
Can I use it in my bmw or crown vic
I think you all are being hyper sensitive here, which is highly unfortunate. You sound like a bunch of misfit kids. I am getting one of these. I want two drain tools though and Ronin, you should have a military style lanyard setup to prevent the loss of the lid. You could even go as far as creating a stow point for the tool somewhere on the under body panel. You may or may not use my ideas to better your product as well as justify the cost but, I will buy your oil cap system and make the mods to it myself. Cap and tool loss are the only things stopping mass sale of this... If it were my company, I would most definitely listen to potential consumers and rectify their concerns ASAP! Seems to me you stopped short of design by not considering all risk analysis issues. No worries, I will finish my product off where you stopped!
Thanks for your input. We certainly did a lot of risk analysis which is proven by our satisfied customers who are using the product. Because we cannot have any tolerance in having this item fail, we made sure to design redundant systems. We went above and beyond what other manufactures would as far as the material and coating choices which cost a lot more money, but we feel better doing it that way. We suggest to clean the key tool when you are done with it and keep it in your glove box, that way you won't lose it. Thanks for your input.
$ 80.00 for a oil plug? i think ill stay stock
The OEM Plug will require replacing the o-ring after every few oil changes which means you'd have to keep buying new plastic plugs. With our design, you wouldn't need to replace any of the o-rings, thus saving cost in the future with the added benefit of less clean-up when you drain the oil. win-win!
spend 35k on a new truck but 80 bucks to be significantly less annoyed every 7k miles.
lol guy
Same...$80 for oil plug? Easier without. O-rings still holding up after 8 oil changes. $20 would be fair price. Just can't justify it...barely justify a $40k truck.
@@RoninFactory the stock oil plug is 7.00 dollars..lets say 1 new plug every other oil change..so i would need to buy a plug every 10k miles. I can buy 11 stock plugs for the 80.00 you want for 1 of yours, sorry to say i will not be owning my new 2018 Raptor for over 100k miles. Good Luck
Related to Gale Banks!
Does this fit the 5.0 or just the eco boosts with that yellow plug?
Yellow plug only. I believe the 5.0s have a conventional plug.
@@billymc2681 The Mustang GT's from 2018 on use a plastic oil pan. I've got one on my 2020 Mustang GT and installed a Ronin for it.
My 2020 F-150 has the 5.0 and a yellow plug.
Ford dropped the ball. I wanted a fumoto valve for it, then realized it was plastic...
I believe all the new Broncos have plastic oil pans as well.
It looks like it won't drain all the oil
it's not worth it because it would leave 1/4 oil inside
Not quite...with the OEM plug, on a level-parked truck, about 3/4 cups (0.18 qts) of oil will remain in the pan. If you angle the truck 4 degrees (by raising the front end about 9") there will be 1/4 cup (0.06 qts) of oil remaining with the OEM plug removed. Similarly, with the truck raised and our plug installed, only about 1/2 cup (0.12 qts) of oil will remain. So the real actual difference is pretty minimal between using our plug and the OEM plug.
Raising the truck further doesn't really help get the remaining amount of oil out due to the internal design of the pan.
If you do the math, with our plug, only about 1.5% of old oil will remain, whereas with the OEM plug only 0.80% of oil will remain...splitting hairs really. (assuming an engine that holds 7.7 qts of oil).
For $80 I should not have to take the plug completely out to get the quarter of oil left in it maybe 10 to $15 it's worth it
Anyone that ordered have a chance to install it yet? If so how did it go? Ty
flawless
@@kevincollins7102 Just put it on 2017 2,7L F150 at 38K oil change. Solid and fits well, no leaks. Haven't drained with it yet. Next oil change will give me a good idea in the valve and drain tool.
Anybody got $80 bucks that i can borrow?
At 50% interest, look me up.
More plastic parts, for the plastic oil pan. Where have the real Auto engineers gone ???
Its just a container my man. Why does it need to be metal? Plastic is lighter and cheaper than steel. Could have made it out of aluminium but there are complications there as well that would probably make it more expensive. If the plastic works, so be it lol.
