Hello everyone, does anyone here knows the specific purpose of the plug just under the mesh filter in the oil pan? See attached picture.
It started leaking and I noticed that the thread is stripped, and since it's impossible to find any M15 or M16 plugs with a 1.0mm pitch where I live I wanted to seal as a temporary solution while the tap I ordered online arrives.
I still don't find any logic of that this plug does.

Thanks in advance for any insight regarding this plug.

That is the mesh filter drain plug. You can wrap the threads with teflon tape until you get a new plug tapped. Will you be doing this job yourself? If you are then good luck, I'm saying this to the ducati. ?
