Description

M15x1.5 Oil Drain Plug Repair Kit – Thread Insert Set with Rethreading Tap

Brief Overview

When an oil drain plug threads strip—a common wear issue in high-mileage engines—this kit delivers a professional, field-proven solution without requiring engine block replacement or machine shop removal. The set includes everything needed to cut a new M15x1.5 thread and install a fresh-gripping insert in minutes. Stock this alongside replacement oil drain plugs with crush washers to offer customers both preventive maintenance and emergency repair options.

Key Features

  • Six brass-plated threaded inserts – Durable metal construction ensures long service life and reliable thread holding under operating pressure
  • M15x1.5 cutting tap with squared shank – Purpose-built for rethreading stripped oil drain holes; works with standard tap wrenches
  • Compact hinged storage case – Organized, molded tray keeps all components together and protected; ideal for shop shelves or mobile service units
  • Universal application – Fits any engine or equipment with M15x1.5 drain plug specifications (common across Asian and European automotive platforms)
  • Zero machine shop downtime – Complete the repair on-site in under 15 minutes

Business Advantages for Resellers

High-margin repair offering: Position this as an upsell to customers with stripped drain plugs—repair cost is a fraction of engine replacement, driving customer loyalty and repeat business.

Inventory efficiency: One kit covers multiple repair jobs; the brass inserts are the only consumable component, making this a profitable long-tail seller.

Shop floor confidence: Mechanics appreciate having a complete, pre-assembled solution rather than sourcing individual components.

Professional credibility: Stocking specialized repair kits signals to customers that your shop handles complex maintenance, not just basic service.

Why This Kit Outperforms Single-Component Sourcing

A stripped oil drain thread is a threshold decision for many vehicle owners: repair or abandon the engine. By stocking this complete kit, you eliminate the friction of sourcing multiple parts. Customers see a professional, ready-to-install solution—not a patchwork of individual components. The brass inserts grip reliably under pressure, and the included tap tool removes guesswork from rethreading.

Stock this kit and watch stripped drain plugs become a profitable service line, not a customer frustration point.

For shops that also service larger equipment or work on heavier vehicles, consider stocking larger M17x1.5 drain plug repair kits to cover the full service range.
