Turbo oil drain bung - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Mustang9668 · 01-20-2016, 09:46 AM

I bought the Vibrant oil drain kit in the link below so that I can run a braided line instead of the rubber hose that comes with the On3 kit. The Vibrant kit comes with both a stainless and aluminum weld on bung. Which one should I use with the stock oil pan or does it matter?

Thanks ahead of time.

Who doesn't love questions about the bung

Id say the steel one since the pan is steel. rather than welding aluminum to steel

Agreed, I had one welded on as well. BTW, I put mine on the passenger side of the oil pan, I did not like the clearance on the front of the pan.

You can see the bung in this picture, good location and clears the AC.

You want the return bung to be a straight shot down from the turbo with as little bending and turning as possible unless your running a pump. Where you've positioned it could lead to oil not returning to the pan fast enough. Just my experience. Front of the pan is best.
