[@davemccage7918]

Who designed this? Someone with multiple personalities apparently! The 1/2 inch drive receptacle built into the drain plug is pure genius. No more searching for the right socket and almost impossible to round off on accident. But the square backing plate that rotates against the oil pan must have been done by someone with an IQ lower than a freezer temperature.

[@googleaccount2637]

Poor materials for premium prices. That crappy plastic doesn't belong anywhere near cars or trucks, but it's cheap as shit.

[@francisphillipeck4272]

Yeah for air tools, would be fine if you only use hand tools on drain pans like you are supposed to. Impact's are for disassembly only anyway.

[@Disis960]

As a freightliner technician, those oil pans are some of the dumbest things Detroit ever came up with. Then warranty says “well replace the insert first and reuse the old oil and if that doesn’t fix it then put an oil pan on it and reuse the oil again.”

[@prestonwarren9228]

Wth that's some of the dumbest shit I've heard of for a warranty. I know they hate paying for anything but reusing the oil has to be a pain in the ass

[@Tyresong]

as a Mechanic in a smaller shop, we often get people coming in for services when the Warrantee has expired and the customer no longer wants to pay Dealer prices for the service... and the amount of drain plugs that were overtightened by the Dealers service department... I've actually had to break out the 1/2" tools to get them undone, when they were only meant to be torqued to 35Nm, yet are clearly around 135Nm How they don't strip out the thread is beyond me!

[@1216marknig]

I helped my friend with her car for an oil change. Same thing. I ruined the oil plug seizing my socket on it because it was so dam tight. Had to buy a new one.

[@BBQandStreetCars]

Yep gotta check your earl regularly

[@MrWhite2222]

Obviously designed by an engineer without any practical experience OR advice. OR the engineer was forced to design that in plastic by the bean counters. They deserve to be sued/recalled for making something so absolutely garbage.

[@lucky7s94]

It's definitely cheap manufacturing to blame... whoever thought they could use plastic on engines is stupid... one backfire and your valve cover could become part of your face 😂

[@RedWingsninetyone]

[@demoniack81]

100% chance that this was forced onto them by some bean counter looking to save 11$ on the metal casting despite all of the engineers telling him that it's a fucking stupid idea. No engineer would ever design something like this of his own volition.

[@allnoyz1414]

impact wrench slammed that backing plate into the pan. Some mechanics need to use impacts for everything - you should not.

[@rocklobstar5672]

I agree with you

[@3Hose]

Especially in plastic parts. But them again, that part should NOT be plastic.

[@trueaussie9230]

No mechanic 'nedds' to use an impact driver for everything. They CHOOSE to, because they're lazy and / or stupid - or no one taught them the correct method, AND they can't think for themselves.

[@raceyrache8463]

I had a motorcycle mechanic help with head gaskets on a Mercedes truck. When reattaching the heads(individual heads on Mercedes V8 diesel), he put the bolts in the rattle gun without even starting the thread and just drove them home. Cross threaded two out of 8 before I realised what he had done. There are some insane qualified mechanics out there 😢

[@davidelliott5843]

I use a rattle screwdriver to speed run bolts. But threads are ALWAYS started by hand. For taking out, I use a breaker bar to shift the initial friction. It’s not hard and takes no longer overall. I have a proper impact gun but hardly ever use it.

[@darkwing4029]

I've seen Freightliner oli pans come out of an Unopened box from the factory with a hairline crack

[@bigetnt]

More like someone over tightened the drain plug. Caused the stress cracking. If it wasnt leaking before it came in. And its leaking after it left. Its more likely the technicians caused this failure.

[@xeromorris]

Exactly

[@moparjr89]

Kind of. When detroit first switched to the plastic pan i had seen a shop post a sign saying this is happening with factory torque spec

[@charlesdeblanc3386]

That's assuming the customer is telling the truth, which isn't always the case.

[@fryingpanpoptart]

Hey a freightliner lol the cascadia p3 and p4s you have to lift up the front end to get the oil pan out lol

[@Butters_Stunts]

Best way I found was put a Jack between the frame and leaf spring, then you can do it over a pit (if you’re lucky enough to have one)

[@thekidfromcleveland3944]

We use some frame jacks and two forklift fork extenders and we just go right off the hooks.........never said it was the best idea. Also f*** the guy who came up with the new abs valve backing plate

[@justincooper5189]

Do you know of any companies that make at least aluminum variants for them? It's not MUCH better, but at least it's metal of some kind. As a trucker, I don't work on the truck the way a mechanic does, but plastic for important parts of an engine is completely retarded.
