Mine is plastic. It has an o ring, so just don't over tighten it. No troubles so far.

Plastic oil plugs seem to be more common in a lot of vehicle theses days ... our 2011 F350 6.7 L diesel rated at 400 hp and 800 ft-lbs has a plastic oil plug with an O-ring ... I am hoping / thinking that Ford knows what they are doing

Ford hasn't known what they were doing with the power stroke since the 7.3........ lol had to get my shot in

Thought I would get back,I did get the back up buzzer problem solved,the buzzer is behind the key as. There is also a plug in At the gear shift lever,on mine both were discounted. I have a good buzz now,no pun intended,,, steve
