This kit is a must for any repair shops that perform oil changes. Just one aluminum drain plug thread repair can save hundreds of dollars! This kit not only restores the oil pan back to it's original thread size... it makes it STRONGER! This kit includes some of the most common metric sizes. Why replace an oil pan for around $500 or more when this repair can be done on the vehicle for a a fraction of the cost? Are aluminum threads stronger than the steel threads? Of course not, that's why TIME-SERT thread inserts are a better option than replacing an aluminum oil pan. This kit is frequently used on GM's, Ford, Chrysler products and Hondas - it can be used on any make with the sizes mentioned above.
