FAQ

What engines are compatible with the MPE-100R kit?

The MPE-100R kit is sized to match the standard freeze plug openings found in most passenger cars, light trucks, and small SUVs from major manufacturers. Always verify the plug diameter in your service manual before purchase.

Can I install these plugs myself?

Yes. The kit includes all necessary plugs and a detailed installation guide. Basic hand tools such as a plug driver or a hammer and a block of wood are sufficient for a proper installation.

How does the silver coating improve performance?

The silver coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, especially in environments with high humidity or road salt. It also helps dissipate heat more evenly, reducing thermal stress on the plug.

Is there a warranty on the freeze plugs?

Melling offers a limited warranty that covers material defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Registration of the product is recommended to activate warranty coverage.

Do I need any additional tools or sealants?
