57180 Oil Filter Plug Tool for Dodge RAM 2500 3500 Diesel 5.9L 6.7L 2013-2018 Used for Oil Change

Worked flawlessly. Didn’t spill 1 drop of oil out of the old filter or the new one. Very easy to use and highly recommend.Drain the oil pan first and let it sit for 30-45 minutes and the oil level will drop in the filter a couple of inches. Unscrew the filter and screw the filter plug in the filter and pull the filter out of the fender well. Replace with new prefilled filter in reverse.

I wished I had known about this prior to my first oil change on my 2015 RAM 6.7 Cummins. My first time I dropped the filer into a ziplock hoping for a spill free filter extraction. Was pretty close but the ziplock has a few things to snag on on the way out. I though there has to be a better way Im not seeing and discovered this. I bought two. One goes on my pre filled new filter. and then one on the filter coming out. You certainly could just use and swap the one but It just makes it a quick switch and you're done. Instead of swapping etc. Convenience in an already awkward approach for a filter. Its a small thing but I appreciate having and using them every time.

After cleaning oil off everything under the filter a few times this little plug is totally awesome! It fits perfectly into the threads, the flange lines up exactly with the o-ring, the tee top/handle provides a way for my large hands to extract the filter through the very small hole which is the only access for the filter. Additionally, now I could add oil to the new filter when it was installed. I probably could have rigged up about 30 inches of brake line and a funnel and filled it from the engine bay, but I never did. 100% satisfied, 100% recommend!

Changed the filter on my 2014 Ram 3500 diesel. I was able to drop the filter down and spin on this tool, grab the whole assembly with the handle prongs on the tool, rotate it about 90 degrees and pull it out the wheelwell without losing a drop of oil. I then prefilled a new filter and reversed the process for the new filter. Easy as it gets.

Purchased a while back after my first oil change. Today I changed the oil, dropped the filter and installed the "plug" securely. Pulled out the filter and the "plug" stopped about 1/2 the oil from spilling. HALF, that is. The plug was tight, maybe it's sealing surface is warped. Try another brand.....

This is the best invention since bread! Saved time. Money and clean up...made changing oil in my Ram 3500 a breeze!

The product looked good, but when I screwed it into a new filter to test fit, two things became apparent: 1- the diameter of the sealing surface was about 1/4” smaller than it should be and just barely contacted the inner part of the filter seal, but still may have sealed, and 2- most importantly, the threads are truncated, which means that due to the missing threads at the beginning, I only had about 1/2 of 1 thread engagement, which would not have lasted long and probably would have pulled out if screwed on tight. Back to China it goes.

Although the flange could be a bit bigger to cover the oil filter gasket more properly, this still works great with Mopar and Wix filters on my 6.7 Cummins. Doesn’t leak and seems to be made of a durable plastic. Threads have been just fine as well.
