Reviews of Dorman 65230 AutoGrade Oil Drain Plug

After I managed to strip the head of my Accord's drain plug, I bought this since it was billed as an OEM replacement. It fit perfectly. I had the car on the ramps, so I slid under the car after refilling the oil, waiting to see if a a leak, or a seep started. Nothing. The plug fits perfectly. I'd heard good things about Dorman products, and now I can at least vouch for one of them.

I was not impressed with the cheap-o plastic washer they sent with the bolt. Really Dorman? You couldn't spring for the extra 3 cents and provide a metal washer? I reused the metal washer off my old (and now useless) drain plug. I don't want to have to deal with a molten plastic washer, fused to the body of the drain pan, after 5000 miles. Other than that, this is a solid product.

Upon installation of the new Dorman drain plug, I observed an oil leak overnight. I'm sure it's due to the cheap plastic washer. Wish you'd use a better washer. Switching out with a better washer will be a dirty job so I'm disappointed with this product.

Honest reviews on Dorman 65230 AutoGrade Oil Drain Plug

My drain plug was rounded off using an impact driver where someone else changed the oil. I needed a new plug and I went to Amazon and it was easy. I entered the make, model and year and got the correct drain plug without leaving home. A real plus was that it came with the gasket that is required and when I need new gaskets I will get them from Amazon. This item was ordered with other items to make the $25 for super saver free shipping

There was once a mechanic may used the wrong tool when they change oil for me.

Next time I change oil at other shop. The other mechanic told me the bolt wore out.

I searched around Amazon and found this stuff. It completely fit my 2005 Honda Pilot and

come with a good price. I am very happy with it.

Cheap Quaker State 550028519 10W-30 Enhanced Durability High Mileage

Quaker State 550028519 10W-30 Enhanced Durability High Mileage Motor Oil - 5.1 Quart Jug
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Instead of the Defy synthetic blend motor oil I ordered, I received Quaker State Enhanced Durability motor oil. Nowhere on the label of the Enhanced Durability product does it say it's a synthetic blend, but the Quaker State product number (550028519) is the same on the Enhanced Durability product as it was for the Defy product advertised by Amazon. I called Quaker State and they said Defy replaced the Enhanced Durability product so I probably received old stock of the same product. Quaker State also said the Enhanced Durability product is indeed a synthetic blend (even though the label does not say so anywhere), and that the correct product number for the Defy product is 550022728. So a confusing situation to be sure.

Amazon needs to straighten this out with Quaker State and at a minimum, change their description for product number 550028519 to show that it is Quaker State's Enhanced Durability motor oil and not their Defy product.

It is different owning a car that uses a synthetic blend oil and expensive. It was ,a score to find the oil on Amazon at such a good price it came to around 5 or 6 dollars a bottle.

Replaces the factory gear oil for the differential that comes with the suspension package on the 2006 Mazda MX-5.

I could swear that this bottle contains pure sweet cream butter because it's a major difference between this and the standard "maintenence free" gear oil I used to have in my diff. My differential chatters less and (now I may be hallucinating) but I think the car even feels more agile! This stuff is heaven sent.

Changed my front and rear differential with this oil on my 2003 GMC Envoy. So far I am very satisfied with it.

I have used this oil in numerous gear boxes requiring a 75W-90 gear oil and found it works very well. It seems to rate very high in all reviews I have read. I can't say it is the best, because I have not tried or compared many other oils, but in my opinion I believe it is one of the better oils and you won't go wrong using it.

Got this from online store since it's cheaper than at my local auto parts store. Purchased it to change the differential fluid in my Mercedes SLK 230. Glad I've changed the fluid after 120,000 miles. The original one was of a dark dark color and with an awful smell. I needed just a little more than in one bottle so had some leftover left. Very satisfied with the transaction!

This is one of the best filter you can buy. Its lacking the little nut attachment on the top like the other K&N filters.

I get the PS-1001 for my Pontiac sunfire, I loved it so much i got this one for my moms Toyota Corolla. K&N has great filters that perform much better than FRAM or other other filters sold in big box stores. Will definitely order again.

How do you rate an oil filter? It fits on the car and I guess it filters the oil. How do you even know if it's working well? Whatever it was a good price, Amazon Prime shipped it quickly to my door, it has these really cool K&N stickers on it and it makes my Toyota Matrix look super cool. That is if you crawl under the car and look at my trick oil filter.

Honest reviews on K&N PS-1003 Oil Filter

Nice filter. I use it on my 2006 Toyota Rav4. So far I haven't noticed any problem with it. It feels much heavier and more solid than all those cheap filters.

The price fluctuates a little bit. Might as well stock up some of them when it's only 6$ each!
