Ford F150 Drain Plug Tool

thingiverse

Drain plug tool for F150. Anyone who have ever changed oil on a F150 5.0 knows it can make a mess. When the plug is removed to oil stream hits the sway-bar and makes a nice 180 deg spray pattern. Not sure if this is a 5.0 only issue. This tool fits the plug and allows it to be loosened with a 16mm wrench. When loosened, the tool rests against the transmission cooler and thereby limits the flow rate. The short version limits it to the point that it will still hit the sway bar, but not to the point it sprays in a 180 deg pattern. Been tested and works as intended. I made a longer version that will limit the flow rate even more. Have not tested this version.
