RONIN FACTORY Ford F150 Oil Drain Plug 2015+ F150 Raptor Mustang (Ford Bronco V6) Replacement Yellow Plastic Engine Oil Drain Plug BC3Z-6730-A / FT4Z-6730-A / KX6Z-6730-B (See Fitment Guide Below)

The factory drain plug for the 2.7L Bronco engine is considered to be a one time use item, this seems silly to me. Combine that with the fact that when you remove this 3/4 turn one time use drain plug, you had better be ready because all 6.2 qts of oil are coming out within a few seconds whether you have your drain pan positioned correctly or not. The Ronin permanent drain plug solves the issue of a messy oil change and the combined cost of a $13 drain plug with each oil change. The plug is VERY well made, fits perfectly and takes just a few seconds to install during your next oil change. The added bonus is that the insert that allows you to control oil flow out of the pan, also has a connection on the end that allows you to connect a piece of hose and direct the oil flow wherever you like instead of your sway bar, the cross member, your garage floor or all over your hand like the factory plug tends to do. If you're like me and regardless of the smart oil life monitor's suggested 7500-10,000 mile oil change intervals, you change your oil every 5,000 miles, you'll cover the cost of this plug in a few oil changes and avoid the mess and hassle of the factory plug. Because I'm also used to a traditional oil plug, I have been crawling under my Bronco expecting so see a drip or seep from the plug, but it hasn't let me down. Since installing this, I have had a co-worker buy one for his Edge ST and his F-150. I'll be adding this plug to our other Bronco at the next oil change as well because it's just that good. If you're on the fence and thinking about spending the money for this add, trust me, it's worth it.

Installed on a 2019 Ford F150 5.0L today. Just did my first oil change. I read all the complaints online about how messy the OEM oil plug can be and they're not wrong. As soon as I loosened the plug enough with a pair of needle nose pliers, oil went spraying everywhere even though I had carefully positioned my catch pan to avoid any issues. The problem is two fold - the oil gushes out with great speed, and the swaybar is right there in front of the opening so it fans the rushing oil everywhere. It's a poor design.This was a bit pricy but it appears to be high quality aluminum and steel. It was easy to install. The rim right behind the gold cap - the part you grip to install it - has a notch right behind the gold cap at the 12 o'clock position. Aim this at about the 7 o'clock position on the oil pan mouth, push in with some force, and then rotate it while pushing in a bit until the notch I mentioned is at 12 o'clock on the mouth. By this point, it should feel secure. It will very slightly move left to right if you move it around, but it's in there securely just like a regular plug. My 2017 VW GTI had the same plastic plug design with a detent that locks it into place. I know a lot of old school guys prefer a metal pan and plug but honestly I like the plastic a lot more. It's foolproof.FYI, the Ronin symbol (sort of looks like a Transformers logo) is also supposed to be correctly aligned. The two points at the top of the "head" of the symbol should be pointing straight up. I had previously loosened the gold cap and didn't properly retighten it, so the symbol didn't line up at first and I thought I didn't install it correctly, but the notch was properly oriented. Also, on the bottom of the drain is text which should be positioned at 6 o'clock once installed, and I verified that as well.I will update after my next oil change since I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I'll also update if there are any leaks or issues. I have high hopes for this tool, as the factory plug sucks. $80 is worth saving yourself the aggravation as well and you won't have to buy any more replacement plugs.Update - I finally got to change my oil. The difference is night and day. First of all, a reminder to keep the drain tool somewhere safe. It's small and easy to lose. I initially kept it in my glove box as recommended but was afraid it would get lost so I put it in the garage near my oil filter wrench and still couldn't find it at first. The tool helps control the flow of oil and makes the drain so much cleaner. The spurt of oil will still hit the sway bar but you can limit that by turning down the flow a bit. Not having to buy a new plug each time is a nice plus. I'm so glad I bought this, having changed the oil both ways. Worth every penny.

This drain plug is extremely well made, fits perfectly in place of the plastic one time use plugs that came on my truck originally. Very easy to install and no leaks. The drain valve works very well to prevent making a giant mess. Prices seems steep but it’s worth it considering you’ll never need another drain plug again.

Bought 2 of these for my F150 Trks. I have a 2015 2.7 and a 2017 3.5 liter engines. I leave the screw in tool in the glove box to easily find when I need to change the oil. I have a plastic hose in my shed that I leave with the oil pan. Very easy to use. Worth the $!!!

Very happy that I bought this for my F-150! Makes changing the oil so simple and clean by attaching a hose to the nipple and feeding it into my drain pan. No muss, no fuss, no splashing oil off the crossmembers and shields. If you change your own oil you need this. Highly recommended. 👍

Have a 2019 mustang with a 5.0, and it takes 10 quarts of oil. The OEM drain plug drains that pan very quickly, a fire hose is not far off!First time I drained that pan I knew it was coming based on car forums and complaints from other owners. I had a 5 gallon bucket from Lowe's handy had the car on ramps and carefully unscrewed it and let it fly while holding the bucket at roughly a 45. It drains with force!I heard of this product through these car forums as well, has a solution, and it does work. However, it is a bit harsher on the fingers, and a bit tricky, and by comparison the oil really does kind of just trickle out, a long while, to where if you have any wind which is impossible to not have in Oklahoma, it'll end up blowing oil out of your drain pan and on to the ground or anywhere else nearby that isn't the drain pan.Also, you have to pull this thing out in order to get the last bit of old oil and where all the collected material settles as that won't get forced out with the 9 and 3/4 quarts that had already drained, so you're still left with a bit of a mess. I may end up putting the original back on but for now this will stick. I don't feel the money was wasted, although I did buy two, I hadn't yet changed the oil yet on my 2021 Expedition, so thinking ahead when I ordered this one I ordered one for that as well, turns out the expedition has a standard bolt, rather than the yellow plastic plug with o-rings. So potentially I have two of these that I won't find a used for...
