OEM Drain Plug Part Number

[Sierra Outdoors]

Getting some conflicting info and can't seem to figure out - what's the part number for the official Jeep/Mopar drain plug? Slightly stripped mine so I'm hoping to swap it out next oil change.

Also curious to see if anybody recommends any of the magnetic ones as well.

Edit: Official mopar drain plug part number is 06513414AA (replaces older 6506214AA)
Fumoto looks interesting, will likely upgrade to that after a couple of other upgrades ?

I always liked the Fumoto valve.

Although I have never smashed or rounded my OEM oil plug while rock crawling but several other not so vulnerable low hanging components. How on Earth does this not get ripped off or smashed while rock crawling? Is it only intended for light trail riding but even then I've had tree limbs and branches kick up out of nowhere. ?
To run a tube into a catch can or container would be so much easier cleaner and quicker. So I like the concept.

In my case, it would be covered with a skid plate. I don't actually have one on either Jeep, I just liked them on my TRX and other cars that I have had. My Jeep shop does my oil changes when the Jeep is in there for one reason or the other.

I have a skid plate protecting my Fumoto valve. Skid plates are a good idea for anyone rock crawling their jeep.

Stahlbus, Valvomax, Fumoto
The comparitive sizes were kind of surprising and the thread length is pretty much the same.

There were some pretty good examples of aftermarket replacements offered but you are right. You ask a question and never get a direct answer to your questions. Just say I don't know. I don't know, but if you call the parts guy at the dealer he should look it up for you over the phone. The valve max interested me because you can get the complete kit with drain hose attachment and a plastic container to drain the oil into. Put the cap on the container and take to your Auto Zone for free proper disposal. After the mess I made yesterday I will purchasing one of the three mentioned above.

personally after noodling with the three of them i'm gunna have to say the Fumoto is the cleanest choice, pop a hose on the end (or not), flick the lever and drain it into an old 5 quart container. i've read people praising the small size of the Valvomax, i'm not seeing that, it's actually considerable larger that the Stahlbus for really no particular reason. it doesn't matter how beefy the valve is, if you hit it, it's breaking at the threads - stainless or brass. i like the clean open port of the Fumoto for an open drain, as opposed to the other two that flow through a spring and around a ball. i like the capped off look of the Valvomax and Stahlbus and agree that it's nice to keep the valve from getting covered with road debris and drips if the ball ends up leaking.

i originally assumed that the threads in the pan held back full drain when i used the Stahlbus, but i used redline oil for that change and may have burned a little and my collection method wasn't exactly scientific.

as an overthinker... as irking as the lever, open valve and "size" are, i vote for the Fumoto and will be installing it on my next change.

It always surprises me how beat up my skids are. Sometimes I wonder if I would have actually cleared some obstacles if they weren't on there. I definitely like the extra layer of protection and they do slide over things without getting caught up.

I have Rusty’s and they are solid but heavy. I am putting Artec aluminum on my wife's.

Fumoto installed today. I'm looking forward to the next oil dump in 5,000 miles

Has there ever been an ACTUAL case of Fumotos being trail-damaged? Or...is it just FUD? BTW, I'm sure that someone will chime in with an instance, but it will be far removed from normal activity.

Many people who off road tend to add skid plates. So the chance of it getting hit is lower.

I just installed this one yesterday while doing my oil change. Looks different than the one above as it sits a little higher? Maybe that's a good thing. Also got the hose kit for draining. Have one on another of my cars and makes oil changes a breeze and not to mention less mess.

Going Fumoto is an excellent way to go.. I have used on trucks, aircraft, motorcycles, Jeeps and more..

Hint: Do though, secure the on and off lever with something different and not the Fumoto clip.

It's way way to easy for some asshat to crawl under your JL, easily remove the Fumoto clip and then open that lever.. The Fumoto clip comes off very easily..

It's also possible for high grass, and such to snag that Fumoto clip and to pull it off and then lever can be also snagged and opened.

Do yourself a favor and get an old style 5/8" hose clamp that will require you to use a plier to get it on and off.. No, you will not see it coming off with your fingers/grass, etc..

If you can't source such a 5/8" clamp, I have a few laying around. Pay postage and buy me my morning coffee and I will mail one to you.
