Where can I get a 3/8 NPT tap for threading the hole in the oil pan ?? Lowes , HOME DEPOT , Sears ????? anybody ??

 

[Firemanz]

I would try Sears first.....

Look in the yellowpages for plumbing supply or pipe-fitting supply warehouses. Mainstream retail places will NOT have it.

Heck, PM me and I'll send you mine--but you MUST pass it on for free to the next person.

Also try plumbing supply stores/hardware stores

Take it to a shop and have them tap it and put a plug on the end. By the time you pay for all the tools to tap the pan you could have had someone do it.

I got mine at mscdirect.com. I got it the next day after I ordered it. Was pretty cheap too.

You can get one from MSC for about $6, plus shipping. You'd be better off getting one from a local Industrial Supplier. Just look in the Yellow Pages under Industrial Supplier.

FYI- so you don't get a smart-assed counter guy pissed off, make sure you refer to the tap correctly (sometime these guys can be cranky...). You need to not only specify 3/8" NPT, but also need to include the TPI (threads per inch) designation. A common 3/8" NPT thread has 18 TPI.
