At long last, the poorly designed, slotted OEM oil relief plug is finally dead!

This GoWesty-designed plug replaces the original slotted oil pressure relief plug in your Bus or Vanagon with a 19mm external hex plug, which allows for easy removal of the plug. Large flat-blade screwdrivers had an awful tendency to slip sideways out of the slot in the original plug. If you've ever serviced the stock plug, you've probably wanted to hurl it into the distance. Well, now you can. Get rid of that thing in favor of a much smarter design.

The GoWesty plug also features a 1/8" NPT port, so you can easily add a temperature sender to keep an eye on the temperature of your engine oil.

Kit includes:
• Oil pressure relief plug
• Temperature port plug with thread sealant
• Aluminum crush washer

Life saving. Old plug no longer sealed and was a terrible design. This got me up and running again and is so much easier to use!

Correct size for fuel injected bus

Should have came here first. Wasted time with other vendors who stated it was correct part but sent a smaller plug and crush washer. This was exactly what I needed

Much easier to remove and nice to have the oil temp option

In searching for a culprit for low oil pressure I swapped out my relief valve. This new bolt is much easier to install and remove, and the option for adding an oil temp sensor down the road is very nice. This also fixed oil I had leaking from the oil relief cover.

SO much better than the original

Just having an external, wrenchable connector makes it a huge upgrade. I don’t have a sensor for it, but glad I can add one if I want

Nice

Looks solid & I like the idea of putting in a temp sensor too. Just wish there was an option for a magnet to catch any steel filings. (Not sure if there would be many though?)

Works well

Replace that factory one that you need a massive flathead screwdriver to remove.

Great upgrade

I have not yet installed the item, as I am waiting for a new spring to arrive from another supplier, as GW does not have them on their site. It is a great upgrade and I am sure it will serve me well. Kind of pricey though.
