Crankcase Plug
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Crankcase Plug, also known as the oil drain plug, is a small but essential part of a commercial truck's engine. This plug is located at the bottom of the crankcase and is responsible for draining the old oil out of the engine during an oil change. The Crankcase Plug is typically made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum to withstand the high temperatures and pressures of the engine. Without this plug, the engine oil would not be able to be drained properly, leading to a buildup of sludge and debris that can cause serious damage to the engine over time. Regular maintenance of the Crankcase Plug is crucial to ensure that the engine is running smoothly and efficiently. In addition to its role in oil changes, the Crankcase Plug also serves as a safety feature for the engine. If the plug is not tightened properly or is damaged, it can cause oil to leak out of the engine, leading to a loss of lubrication and potential engine failure. As such, it is important to inspect the Crankcase Plug regularly for signs of wear or damage and to replace it as needed. With its simple yet vital function, the Crankcase Plug is an essential part of any commercial truck's engine system.
