Need help asap

My brother in law just bought a 11 f350 diesel.. He is at my house on the way back to VA and the oil drain plug just fell out of the pan...it is plastic 1/4 turn thing I have never seen before. His oil pan is also plastic or at least feels that way. What is this plug and how do we get another one on a Sunday... If you put it back in it take no pressure at all for it to be pulled back out. If anyone has idea call me 7573431002
Thanks
Joe

Is it one of them aftermarket 1/4 turn drain valves? What if you removed the valve and put the proper drain bolt back in

Just looked it up seems Ford had the bright idea to have a plastic 1/4 turn drain plug on the new diesels. Even though its Sunday any parts store should have one in stock call Napa, Advanced Auto, Auto Zone, Pepboys

They will replace it with a metal pan now. Found out that composite pan was not all that great.


Having it towed for a correct pan was the best idea.

should be a warranty repair. The motor and its parts are 5 year 100K. Also there is a powertrain warranty.
