Description
Product Overview
Make your next oil change quick and mess-free with the iFJF 57180 Oil Filter Plug Tool. Specifically designed for Dodge RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the legendary 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel engines (2013-2018), this specialized tool seals the oil filter housing during oil changes — preventing oil spills, keeping your workspace clean, and making the job faster.
The Cummins diesel oil filter sits in a housing that drains oil when the filter is removed. Without a proper plug tool, oil can spill onto the frame, steering components, and your garage floor. This precision-machined plug tool threads into the filter housing, stopping the flow and giving you time to remove the old filter and install the new one without creating a mess.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my 2015 RAM 3500 6.7L Cummins?
A: Yes. This tool is specifically designed for 2013-2018 RAM 2500 and 3500 models with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. It also fits earlier 5.9L models (2003-2012).
Q: Is this the same as the OEM 05083285AA tool?
A: This is a high-quality aftermarket equivalent of the Mopar 05083285AA plug tool. It uses the same thread pitch and dimensions for a perfect fit.
Q: Do I really need this tool for an oil change?
A: Without this tool, oil will drain from the filter housing when you remove the filter, soaking the frame and steering components. This tool prevents the mess and makes oil changes significantly cleaner and faster.
Q: What material is it made from?
A: High-grade aluminum alloy with an anodized finish. It's lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed to last through hundreds of oil changes.
Q: Can I use this on a RAM 1500 EcoDiesel?
