Because it a bit of cheap one time use plastic per https://www.ebay.com.au/p/18022014642 and https://www.connect-consumables.co.uk/product/31775
And Allan says, it's a bung rather than a plug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq4c...nel=AlanHowatt In any event. a modern "innovation" I see as an environmentally unfriendly down grade. I guess it's saving grace it would be virtually impossible to cross thread it.

I can also envisage that at some point the drive for the lowest cost replacement bung will also see some Chinese made clone come on the market that isn't sufficiently heat resistant and deforms when hot dropping a sump load of oil.
