Abstract:

An oil pan bolt with a standard bolt head and a sealing flange that fits against the oil pan. Extending from the head of the bolt is a threaded portion that is inserted into the threads of the oil pan drain hole. An extension piece extends from the distal end of the threaded portion of the bolt. At a distal end of the extension piece is a retaining element. One way of forming the retaining element is to have another small threaded portion at the distal end of the extension piece.
