Don't have the car right now, so hopefully someone know the answer.. Always order the EZ no spill drain plugs for my cars and want to order the UPR billet for the new ST but i do not see it listed for sale anymore. Can anyone confirm the 26's still have the yellow quarter turn drain plug or did they move back to a metal pan? I know the mustangs moved back to metal just didn't know if the same thing happened to explorers?

I just purchased the yellow drain plug for our 2026 ST. It looks to be about a quarter turn to remove it. Ford part # ML3Z-6730-B. I've looked at the UPR drain plugs as well.

That's interesting as I bought a drain plug from them for my 26 st but also see they don't list it anymore. I found this listing if it is still available https://whooshmotorsports.com/products/upr-oil-drain-valve-2020-explorer-st-free-shipping

I like the UPR Metal Valve with the seperate 1/4 turn drain valve. Makes oil changes a breeze, a nd a lot less mess.
