SMART-O's patented oil drain plug features an unique sealing mechanism: it's the first drain plug with an O-ring directly on the plug thread rather than placed on the bottom of the flange.
This type of design has many advantages over regular drain plugs:
- prevents sudden oil loss (if plug was loose, oil pan thread worn out, self-loosening through engine vibration)
- protect against engine damage (by preventing sudden, catastrophic oil loss)
- protects against oil pan wear and tear (less torque require to safely seal oil pan)
- reduces oil spots on driveway
- reduces risk of engine replacements, insurance liability, customer complaints
- the most ECO-SAFE drain plug in the market!
SMART-O provides the most powerful sealing and retention capabilities unmatched by any other product in this category and can be used by
90 percent of common passenger cars and can be used in trucks, buses, construction and lifting equipment and industrial engines and transmissions,
gearboxes or any application that requires a plug for fluid sealing and draining.
Due to its focus on reducing oil leaks, the product has a strong ECO-marketing angle and could be an exciting addition to expand into a special
GREEN auto product range.
