Oil Plug Leak S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray Niblett on  Wed Jan 23 05:18 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I think it is because copper and aluminum will galvanize and
could cause some corrosion on the surface of the oil pan
that the washer rests against (imagine if it becomes pitted).
(Dissimilar metals cause small electrcial flows between them
and copper is a good one to induce this.)

Any chemists out there who can back my theory (its just a
theory, I'm not an expert)?
