How does SMART-O Plug work?

by FTE Published on Sunday, February 19th, 2012

SMART-O Plug is not just any ordinary drain plug. It’s a leap forward in oil drain plug technology, and its patent-protected design is proven to eliminate the risk of oil loss in engines and transmissions.

Here are some of the most common problems that arise when an oil change goes wrong. Smart-O helps prevent:

– Loss of plug, sudden oil loss, or engine damage from negligent installation
– Stripped threads and damaged oil pan
– Increased risk of oil leakage and damage to other vehicle parts
– Oil leakage from oil pan- Oil stains on driveway & roads
– Oil pan replacement costs between £125 – £250
– Oil entering waterways and contaminating large amounts of water

Every SMART-O plug features an intelligent O-ring that acts as a safe seal, reducing the risk of oil leakage, rapid oil loss, and oil pan damage. Finally, it reduces the risk of adverse environmental impact – especially water pollution through engine oil.

The unique O-ring system works by including a fail-safe mechanism that uses a patent-protected technology. Upon contact with oil, the specially designed O-ring reacts to the oil and expands by up to 10%. This immediately prevents potential oil loss that could cause damage and problems elsewhere in the car or environment.

The O-ring is also designed to generate higher prevailing torque with an anti-vibration function. This counteracts the self-loosening caused by vibration in the car and means your plug will stay firmly in place, even if under torqued and in the harshest conditions such as motorsport or track days. Tests have shown that even hand-tightened plugs did not vibrate loose.

And as If that wasn’t enough, there is yet another safety feature built into SMART-O. A specialist thread guard allows safe sealing at standard torque to reduce pressure on the oil pan thread and allows for a safer and longer life span with less wear and tear.
