does anybody know where I can find a m22 drain plug , ive tried autozone,napa,Advance, I was going to go to loews store and jus get a bolt that same size as the drain plug does anyone know the size? thanks

 

NAPA is where I get mine. Autozone and the rest didn't have them. At least that is the situation in Dallas. Good luck!

 

NAPA does carry them...

Make the guy find it for you..

They are so lazy

 

carquest is where i finally found mine at!!

 

Have you considered asking the dealer? They sold me a replacement magnetic drain plug for my car, which came with a regular plug.

I've seen some of the aftermarket plugs, and the one from GM is higher quality IMHO.

 

I got mine from napa as well, they are a rip off tho, like 9 bucks each

In Dallas, they were about $2.00, so yes, you got ripped! That sucks!!!

 

Yea Napa guys are lazy. To find this drain plug they have to look in the book at least thats what they had to do for me. And they where the only place that had them. Oh and to the other guy this is not a drain plug for the oil pan it to block of the air pump fitting on headers so you can remove all that crap.

 

I got mine at napa, but I had to tell them it was for a bmw( drain plug) and then they found it me one , was 7.99

 

I don't think you can just use a bolt because the threads are different. However, I used brass plugs (like used for plumbing) from any hardware store, the threads where still off but I forced them in. The brass is soft enough that I could cross-thread them and make a tight seal and they where cheap (I assume you are using them to plug the holes in exhaust manifolds from the AIR fittings). Just something else to think about.

 

None of the chaiin stores here in DE had them I had to go to a local "kunkles" autoparts where they could have them in a day. The dealership said that they could get me some in a day or two but at 30 some dollars a crack I passed their offer right up!

 

Napa has them.
