I can't answer directly, but I recall an observation by one Brickster that the oil drain plug was the same thread as the filter. Easy enough to check, right? It's a lot easier to measure a male thread than a female. If it is indeed the case that the drain plug thread = the filter thread, next step is to identify the male thread. You can find a hardware store with a GOOD stock of metric nuts & bolts and do the trial-and-error check with nuts. Or, measure the OD and try to measure the thread pitch (number of threads per inch). Armed with that info, look up metric thread charts in either Mark's Handbook (engineers' encyclopedia) of Machinery's Handbook (ditto for machinists). Or get the info to me and I'll look it up for you. gasmitty@snet.net
