Moroso Drain Plug w/O-Ring -8An 3/4in-16 - Magnetic - Single

The Magnetic -8AN Drain Plug Built Specifically for Moroso Oil Pans with Kickout Designs

The Moroso 97006 is a magnetic drain plug designed as the direct replacement for Moroso oil pans featuring kickout-style drain designs. The 3/4-16 thread (-8AN) interfaces precisely with the kickout bung machined into Moroso oil pans, and the integrated O-ring creates a leak-free seal without a crush washer. The Moroso 97006 houses a rare earth magnet in the tip that captures ferrous metallic particles suspended in the oil, pulling them out of circulation before they can cause abrasive wear to engine bearings, rings, and rotating assembly components. This is a direct replacement for worn or lost drain plugs on compatible Moroso pans and is sold individually with one O-ring included. Prop 65 warning applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Moroso 97006 is designed specifically as a replacement drain plug for Moroso oil pans that use a kickout-style drain design with a 3/4-16 (-8AN) threaded bung. It is not a universal-thread oil pan drain plug and will not fit most OEM factory oil pans. If your Moroso pan uses a different drain plug style, verify the thread size and style in your pan's documentation before ordering.

The Moroso 97006 uses a 3/4-16 thread, which is the -8AN standard thread used on Moroso's kickout-style oil pan drain bungs. This is different from common OEM drain plug threads such as M14x1.5 or 1/2-20, so confirm your pan's drain bung specification before purchasing.

The Moroso 97006 uses an integrated O-ring seal, not a crush washer. The O-ring provides a reusable, leak-free seal that can be replaced separately with Moroso part number 23811 when it shows signs of wear or compression set. Inspect the O-ring every oil change and replace it if it is flattened, cracked, or no longer resilient.

As engine components wear, microscopic ferrous metallic particles shed into the oil supply. At normal oil filter change intervals, these particles circulate for thousands of miles before being captured by the filter media. The rare earth magnet in the Moroso 97006 tip sits directly in the drain area of the oil pan and continuously pulls ferrous particles out of the oil, preventing them from re-entering the lubrication circuit. This is especially beneficial in racing applications where extended oil change intervals may be used, or in high-RPM builds where wear rates are elevated.

The Moroso 97006 can be used on any oil pan or dry sump tank that has a properly sized 3/4-16 (-8AN) drain bung machined with an O-ring groove. It is not limited to Moroso pans mechanically, but Moroso specifically lists it as the replacement for their kickout-design pans. Confirm the thread size and O-ring groove dimensions of your pan's drain bung before installing on a non-Moroso application.

Inspect the O-ring every time you drain the oil. If the O-ring shows flattening, cracking, hardening, or has lost its round cross-section, replace it before reinstalling the plug. Moroso part 23811 is the direct replacement O-ring for the 97006. Using a damaged O-ring risks an oil leak at the drain point.

The Moroso 97006 is a magnetic drain plug that uses a rounded tip with the rare earth magnet exposed to the oil, designed for Moroso pans with kickout-style drains. The Moroso 97007 is a non-magnetic hex head drain plug with a deep O-ring groove for a different pan design. Choose based on which style matches your specific Moroso pan's drain bung configuration.

The Moroso 97006 is designed for hand-tight installation to avoid over-torquing the O-ring seal. Use a wrench only to achieve the final snug seal, typically no more than 15-20 ft-lbs. Over-tightening will deform the O-ring and cause leaks. A rag or gloved hand is sufficient to hold the plug while snugging the O-ring into the seat.

Yes. The Moroso 97006 magnetic drain plug is commonly used in sanctioned road racing, oval track, and drag racing applications. Some sanctioning bodies require magnetic drain plugs as a technical requirement to facilitate post-race oil inspection. Verify your specific series' technical rules for drain plug requirements before competition.

Installation Instructions

1. Drain the oil completely from the Moroso oil pan by removing the existing drain plug. Allow the oil to drain fully before proceeding.
2. Clean the threaded drain bung in the oil pan using a clean rag or brush. Remove any old O-ring material or debris from the O-ring seat.
3. Inspect the new O-ring on the Moroso 97006 for any damage. If the supplied O-ring shows defects, replace it with Moroso 23811 before installation.
4. Thread the Moroso 97006 into the 3/4-16 drain bung by hand until the O-ring contacts the sealing surface.
5. Tighten snugly with a wrench to compress the O-ring and create a leak-free seal. Do not over-torque. Typical installation torque is 15 to 20 ft-lbs maximum.
6. Refill the engine with fresh oil to the correct level per your engine specification.
7. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Inspect the drain plug area for any signs of oil seepage. If seepage is present, shut the engine off and snug the plug slightly more.
