Ronin Oil Drain Plug installed on '25 Ranger Raptor (Fitment Concerns)

[jordantii]

Not to revive an old thread but I just installed mine and this feels weird. Has anyone had any problems up to now?

That's normal. Mine is the same. No leaks.

32k miles here and no issues. Love how clean my oil changes are.

It looks that way because the OEM plug is a push and turn to lock in place. The aftermarket has to use the same method to lock in place, So the gap is there to allow you to push in and turn to install/remove. The wavy washer pushes the plug out so it doesn't work its way loose. It's just as secure as OEM if not better.

yeah, it adds tension to the threads so it doesn't come loose on its own. you are good

I bought on of those I did not use it
It would take half hour to drain out that hose it comes with . I suck the oil out the dipstick
No mess no drain pan and don't even get under the truck

Late to the party, but just installed mine on a 2026 RR, gap is identical to the OP. All good. No leaks.

Actually it takes about 5 minutes to drain. That gives me enough time to do a proper inspection of the chassis and drive line components.
Something you can't do whilst sucking from above.

During an oil change, even though I have and use the Ronin plug, I take it a step further.

After all the oil has drained out of the pan, I remove the Ronin plug. I inspect the Ronin plug, examine the magnet to see if any abnormal metallic fines/particles are attached, and clean it off.

Removal of the Ronin plug also allows that last little bit of oil to drain out.
