Metal oil pan and drain plug?

[boilerup1998]

I have a 2018 Screw and mine is metal also.

Found it @ Ford Parts. you have to search for 2018s and see the 02/26/2018 and later, see below. Only the related oil drain plug has a pic, it's a metal bolt.

I remember seeing a thread stating that some time in February they made a switch to the aluminum pans

Glad that Ford corrected this issue, but curious what they are doing for all of the plastic pan owners.

It’s cheap enough just want to know if it’s a direct replacement.

Not really - lots of manufacturers are using plastic oil pans.
