Sump Plug Question

Post by spooky19587 »

hi, i have a 1L 12v t reg corsa and am going to change the oil on it. I have noticed that the sump plug is a t40/t45 torx bolt.my questions are:

1) Is it worth changing the sump plug to a 19mm instead of the torx? or should i just change the washer?

2) Will this part fit: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Opel-Cor ... 240%3A1318

wen u do an oil change on a car always change the sump washer seal and nah just leave it as a torque size as a 19mm may have different thread so measure the tread size up :)

Don't change the sump plug, keep the torx one, and just replace the washer. They cost less than a pound from Vauxhall. Don't buy a washer from anywhere else tho.

yeah, just been to local stealers and got a new sump plug (just incase) and a spare washer which is just an 'o' ring.
