Once the draining oil has slowed to a drip, put the oil drain plug back into its hole and turn it clockwise by hand as far as possible.

Continue turning the drain plug clockwise with a 14 mm box end wrench or socket until it is snug.

Only tighten the drain plug until it is snug. Over-tightening the oil drain plug can strip the threads or crack the oil pan.

Wipe off any oil left on the oil pan with a clean rag or towel.
