I went with an oil filter relocation kit and a larger cooler, but now I need to plug the line return on the left side of the oil pan. Since I don't believe the threads are NPT, I'll need a plug with a rubber seal. Can anyone point me in the right direction as I don't know the exact size or thread pitch.

Thanks.

Right side. Have you looked in the tsrm epc? I cant look at it right now but i remember toyota selling it when i got a new pan like 3 years ago and i had one so i didnt want to wait cause it was on back order or something.

Correction, left side. No, not sure where I'd find that in the TSRM. I didn't realize Toyota offered a plug. There must be dozens of aftermarket options out there. Just wondering what everyone else has been using?

Hopefully not discontinued...

My local dealer says those part numbers are what most current Toyota models use for their oil pan drain plug. And they even stock them, which for around here is surprising.

The original oil cooler return port on the oil pan's thread profile is M12X1.25. I suppose a non metric copper crush washer will work, just need to fit the OD of the male thread.

We can't all source magnesium Group A pans IJ. Ya braggin bastard. ;)

I stopped by the dealership and grabbed the bolt and washer. The washer is rather nice. Metal with rubber on both sides and under $2.

N/A supra used the same pan, they have a small bolt in the side of the pan.

That would be a cheap easily route to go next time
