With this configuration, easy assembly may be realized, and maintainability and repairability may be improved.

The present disclosure describes a drain plug structure for an oil pan for an internal combustion engine. The drain plug structure closes off a drain hole disposed in a bottom portion of the oil pan. The drain plug structure includes a columnar stopper portion inserted into the drain hole and rotated to prevent withdrawal. A sealing member is fitted to an outer periphery of the columnar stopper portion. An operating portion for a rotation operation is disposed on an outside exposed end portion of the columnar stopper portion. A plurality of cantilevered arcuate arm portions project radially outwards from the outside exposed end portion of the columnar stopper portion and are arranged in series along a circumferential direction. A loosening-prevention meshing portion is disposed on a tip end portion of each arcuate arm portion and an opening edge portion of the drain hole.

The present invention provides a foldable oil filter unit that a drain pin thereof can be easily separated. The foldable oil filter comprises a cap CP receiving a filter; a drain pin disposed on a bottom side of the filter; and a capturing part disposed on a bottom side of the filter and detachably, rotatably capturing the drain pin, which enables the

A threaded plug includes a structure which extends along an axis and includes a head, a body provided with an outer thread, and a clamping flange inserted between the head and the body; wherein the head includes, along the axis, at least one first portion having an outer lateral surface which features a first profile and at least one second portion having an outer lateral surface which features a second profile which is not coincident with the first profile.

A drain plug for an oil pan coupled to a plug mounting hole formed at one side of a lower portion of the oil pan, the drain plug may include a head portion configured to be formed at one end portion of the drain plug, and a screw portion configured to extend from the head portion and be screw-coupled to the plug mounting hole of the oil pan.

An oil sump with an oil drain channel for a motor vehicle has an oil sump wall with an oil sump inner side. The oil sump inner side delimits an oil sump storage space at least in some sections. The oil sump wall has an oil sump outer side, which faces an environment surrounding the oil sump. The oil sump further has two states, with, in the first state, a liquid medium being receivable and storable in the oil sump storage space, and in the second state, the oil sump storage space being fluidically connected to the environment surrounding the oil sump such that a liquid medium received can exit through the oil drain channel in an oil drain direction into the environment. The oil drain channel has an oil channel extension direction at least in the region of the transition from the oil sump wall into the environment surrounding the oil sump, which oil channel extension direction forms an angle of more than 85 and less than 95 in relation to a direction of the force of gravity, based on a correct installation position of the oil sump. An oil sump drip lug is arranged on the oil sump outer side, adjacently to the oil drain channel and protrudes at least 1 mm relative to an environment directly adjacent to the oil sump outer side.
