Default so happens '04 seabring oil drain plug == 14b oil feed

the thread from a 2004 chrysler seabring gtc model fits the oil feed from this 14b i have. I think i will drill a small hole in this drain plug and take the washer off of it.

an oil feed and drain kit or the correct fittings are otherwise difficult to find for myself not at any of the hardware stores

how do you plan to hook the feed line to the end of an oil drain plug?

quote from my original post:

I think i will drill a small hole in this drain plug and take the plastic washer off of it."

then i will weld a small steel barb fitting to it after preparing the bolt and fitting and get it right.

as long as i can weld i might as well not pay $$$ for an oil feed kit im broke.

Just make sure you drill a big enough hole and most barbed fittings I've seen are brass so you won't be able to weld it. I guess you can try jbweld.

negaive on the jb weld. the piece will be mild steel i will probably just weld a small piece of tubing on the end and the hole will be close to the factory oil hole in the turbo, or 1/32" or a little bigger 1mm hole
