What is the Bolt Size & Thread of a D2 V8 Sump Plug

[JBM770]

The thread is 14 mm x 1.5 mm x 20 mm long and the head is 15 mm AF. It has 8.8 and "SPS" stamped on the head.

Thanks James the info you provided was spot on.

I went to Repco earlier today and got them to dig out a number of various sump plugs they had out the back and there were several 14 mm plugs. I brought the longest one they had and that will do the job for now. I will put a original one in next time I change the oil.

Actually a magnate on a stick wouldn't be quite enough Ron, I would need a metal detector and a lot of luck to find the sump plug. ...

All I will say is I will never ever change the oil and filter ever again on a extremely windy (around 50 klm at the time) and freezing cold (wind chill factor was -5 at the time) day in the middle of a paddock and before some clever dick says something ...no the cows did not eat it.

I think I speak for all of us when I say---

Well I could take a picture of a dirty great oil slick that was well over 100 metres long on the Braidwood Rd just coming into Gouldburn if you like? Thankfully I noticed the smoke behind the Disco from oil on the exhaust before the oil light came on so I turned it off and coasted to a stop.

Spent half an hour looking for the bloody plug that I had not done up properly both up and down the road in the freezing cold to no avail.

Anyway got a new plug today filled her up with more new oil, held my breath cranked her over and away it went no problems or noises at all.

Won't do that again I can tell you...

cheers,
Terry
