The Ronin is a pricey replacement to Ford's lazy design of the newest oil drain plug on most F-150s. The Ronin Factory plug solves all of the problems, including how heavy your wallet is.

Ronin Factory Drain Plug: amzn.to/2LbT1nR
******
Does your truck have a yellow drain plug? Some do some don't. Let me know what engine and truck you have and if you have the yellow plug by leaving a comment.
Hello, Do you still use the Ronin drain plug? Any issues? Has it damaged your oil pan at all?
I put the Ronin on my truck , I’m so glad I did.
It works perfect
Thank you so much for your video. I just purchased a brand new plastic oil plug and it leaks. I can see that it is locked to where you can't tighten anymore and still leaks. The plug was 14.00 F'n dollars. Appreciate your work. Crappy plastic drain plug ford. You should be ashamed of this.
Happy to help. Sorry about your crappy plug.
Nice!! Just ordered one. Some points: Don't screw the adapter or any part of it in without some oil lubrication for the o-rings. It didn't look like you had the "wave washer" that is included with the plug. Be sure it is on the plug portion of the drain plug before installing it into the oil pan. Be sure to orientate the plug correctly. There is a notch on the plug and it should align with the 7 o clock position and then be at the 12 o clock position when it is fully inserted. The Ronin logo will be at the bottom if it's in right, like when you put it in the second time. A good practice is to clean the drain adapter, after use, and keep it in the glove compartment. A little oil on it before the next time you use it, to lubricate the o-ring, and your golden... :-)
All good points! I think I forgot the wave washer when I was filming because I was taking it off and reinstalling so many times! It's on there now though.
I installed this on my 2020 Mustang GT; it works great. Ford recommends that you change their OEM plug at every oil change. You got to wonder, in addition to the expense, would supply chain issues become a factor? I was hesitate to buy a Mustang GT because of its plastic oil pan and drain plug. I see now that Ford is putting this junk on their Explorer ST and Broncos. I would like maybe to trade up to an Explorer ST or Bronco, but I don't want any more vehicles with a plastic oil pan.
In some cases I think non plastic pants have been made available, but don't quote me on that.
Guess I'm different....60,xxx miles on my F150 and still using the original yellow plug; doesn't leak. I took a gallon milk jug and cut part of it away to help catch that first gush of oil.
But...I might get one of these when my rewards points on Amazon allows.
Definitely more of a luxury than a necessity, but I'm glad to have it!
Another reason to keep the OEM plug is that the fast release of oil helps flush out all the debris, if any, so it gets out of the engine. That slow release doesn't allow that
The oil itself will hold debris in suspension long enough to slowly drain using this plug. this plug is in my truck and oil goes where I want not all over the floor or driveway. If you have debris that won't stay in suspension then you have much bigger problems.
I agree
I would probably loose that little adapter. I have Fumoto drain plug on my 7.3 and I love it because it is just a valve you can open to drain the oil. Have you seen anything like that for your truck?
I worry about losing it too. Thankfully you can buy just the adapter. The need for a separate adapter is my least favorite thing about this plug design. Fumoto doesn't have a product for this style plug yet, but they're supposedly working on it. I've had a Fumoto valve on every other vehicle I've owned.
I'm buying a new 2022 f150 3.5 V6 power boost hybrid....will my 2017 F150 3.5 V6 Ronin drain plug work on this NEW TRUCK....6 MONTH S ON DELIVERY!
I installed one on my 17 F150 last oil change about a month ago. Well low and behold I had to get new cam phasers per the Ford recall and when they reinstalled the plug, they put it upside down. Will this affect it?
Nope
I want one of these....but I never change my oil myself.
It's about $10-15 more to take it to the dealer and have them do it. Save me from having to crawl on my back in Florida heat, the hassle of properly disposing of the oil afterward, and they can do it in half the time.
If Florida heat is anything like Missouri heat, I don't blame you!
Plus when you factor in the $80 price tags of this you won’t see any saving till some where after 4 to 5 year depending on the oil you use and the way you drive. The oil I use says you can run it to 10,000miles/1year, would never take it that far but if I did it would take me 8 years to see any savings if I only spent $10 extra an oil change to have someone else do it.
Wouldn’t want you to break a nail or something 😂
Only problem is the dealer is going to sell u the oil change at a premium price plus labor but use whatever bulk cheap shit conventional oil they got a deal on.
I ain't letting a bunch of kids change my oil I can change my own oil for less than 25 bucks
Just got my Roninplug today. Have you ever had to replace any of the O-rings on the Ronin plug? Is the plug still working good for you? Thanks
Still works great for me
Nice!!
I've bought 4 oem drain plugs in the last 3 months. It keeps leaking from the plug. I'm thinking it's from the heat and the o rings are falling to often due to the heat. How does this drain plug do in heat or more so the o ring?
It's never leaked once for me
I have one on mine and I love it!
Me too!
Too much oil left in the pan for 80 bucks
@@troywilliams8659 It is made to control the oil drain, after it stops dripping take off the other part. Another benefit of it it is reusable.
Maybe $15
I don't take off my oil filler cap and it works just fine
The amount of oil left and with a $80 price tag I’ll pass
99.3%+ of the oil comes out with this plug... Lol pretty much onpar with your chances of surviving Covid. So it does a good job.
Yeah, I am getting all of the dirty oil out. I let it sit overnight, parked on a slight incline, where I will be doing the change. That plug is a nice to have
If i have to do some wrenching anyways why not just pull the plug and get all the oil out in one shot? 80 bucks c’mon nothing like pricing yourself out of the market🙄
Changing the filter makes a mess too. Wish there was a fix for that.
Agreed...
Hmmm.. haven't removed my drain plug in years - I've been using a vacuum line to remove all oil.. don't even have to get under the truck
That's one way to do it!
My '19 doesn't have a plastic plug.
$80 for this? Absurd. That said, I'll probably buy one when I get my F-150 because one time with Ford's idiotic plug design would be enough to piss me off. The fact that they use plastic oil pans at all is infuriating, given how expensive these trucks are.
$80 seems ridiculous. The product I feel is worth it but I wish there was a better option.
It's a good idea but seems like alot to fail and pricey just to fix a user error. The factory drain plug isn't ment to be removed quickly. Unscrew the factory plug slow and it drains at a controlled amount, instead of the infomercial like mess you made.
True, but the big benefit for me is the ability to use a hose to drain. I live in a windy area, and with a lifted truck wind blows the draining oil everywhere. May not seem like a big deal, but have oil blow all over your driveway a few times and it'll change your mind lol
Does it fit for a Ford Mustang 2020
Yes, if you have the yellow plug.
I installed one on my 2020 Mustang GT kona blue--works great.,
Thats good for the back yarder but I take it to the shop on the lift let them deal with the mess
Even better! (As long as you trust your shop)
I heard they pump the oil out, which leaves a lot of used oil in pan, which tends to be over filled, along with the used oil.
Lol I just use a piece of pvc notched with a Hak saw
That works!
Where is this made? I contacted Ronin and asked, and they would not answer my question, which is fishy. Thank you
I'm not sure. I'll look into it.
@@TruckStuff1 Thank you, I appreciate it.
Le queda a mi ford f-150 2015 ecoboost 2.7
Por segruro.
There's a lot more left-over oil than I would like so for me I'll completely remove the plug after I drain my oil.
That's reasonable.
Good luck keeping up with the adapter. Lose it and you are screwd.
$80???????? Seriously? 🤣🤣🤣
Gees. Ford should have just put a damn regular metal plug. No need to over engineer. Ford sometimes, i swear.
I agree. I believe it's because it's a poly pan, not metal
It certainly does suck.
Agreed
Spend $60,000 for a truck and have to replace the drain plug🤬🤬
Oh goodness. I hope I didn't pay $60,000!
Truck Stuff ; only you would know....
Thankfully my truck was more in the $34k range. But $60k is definitely not out of the realm of possibility for some trucks
Truck Stuff ; $34,000 is reasonable today. My first new truck; 1990 Toyota $14,900. Second new truck; 2005 Toyota Tundra $21,900. Walked into Ford for a change, holy crap! $45,000, $55,000......I walked out and bought a used 2015 four door V8 4x4 for $19000.. Insane numbers.
For the people that think you need to remove the plug and get out 7 more drops of oil, have fun.
Let’s just say there is something in the oil, it’s going to have caused more damage to the engine already than what you’ll be removing in those last few drops. And if there’s anything left that’s harmful, this is what oil filters are for.
Also, just do an oil analysis every few oil changes just to see what’s up. But this isn’t necessary, just like squeezing out the last few drops.
This.
plastic oil pan? seriously ford? what's next? plastic springs?
Considering how many vehicles have these there are surprisingly few failures. But for off road vehicles I'd want a metal pan.
$229.46 on amazon Canada. No thanks.
WOW! If you want one I can send you one from the states.
😮
60 bucks on Amazon right now.@@TruckStuff1
