1989 760 GLE ALLEN BOLT OIL DRAIN PLUG SIZE, PLEASE HELP? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be 747 on  Fri Jan 31 05:33 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hello guys!

I have some questions regarding a oil drain plug to my 89 760 gle. It appears that it is not the regular type of plug, but that of an allen type plug (what size allen wrench tool?), whereas an allen wrench/tool may be needed to remove it. However, could I simply replace this particular plug with a regular oil pan bolt of similar size? As far as I know my automatic transmission drain bolt is a 9/16 and not an allen bolt. Also my alternator and drive belts have gotten somewhat saturated with motor oil from a previous leak via timing chain area/distributor rotor. How much of an effect would this have on my alternator in terms of failure? Also how much life are left in my drive belts? The belts were saturated from the top ends, the pulley grooves were not, but have a slight residue of motor oil. All of your responses would be greatly appreciated!


Best Regards
