What are the part numbers for the Gold Plugs?
Thank you

Ok, I'm still confused. Could somebody list the 2 gold plugs part numbers to do an oil change. I have the dimple plugs in there now and I'm due for an oil change. Are they the MP-01 & MP-18 that is needed for the 1330 engine?

Very good choice to get rid of them. You couldn't pay me enough to use dimple plugs.
I guess I would take $1100 to use clutch cover plug and $2000 to use main engine plug.
I'm very happy with the gold plug.

The drain plug itself and the mating surface should have been designed to use a Loc-O-Seal or an O ring. With that system snug plus is all it takes.
The measured dimensions on the the Dimple Plug of over .070" is not bad. Also consider that the depth of the thinned portion is not to the bottom of the threaded area. So under torque, several threads of full strength are securing the drain plug.
The entire breakage issue has happened and is real, no doubt.
Unless the Dimple drain plugs are failing immediately on install and not during removal this would indicate a weak drain lug. If however the drain plug fails on removal, possibly the drain plug has bonded itself via the oil or galled to the aluminum, causing it to have a failure not related to tension while installing, but rather a torsional force and tension while being removed.
My dimple failed on install as did spyderryder53

My 2 cents. I have a '15 RTS, the MP01 listed for the transmission does NOT fit my transmission. (I'll stop there).

Why didn't the gold plug MP-01 not fit? Please explain. This is getting very confusing.

Dealer installed mine and stated that as they started to tighten the plug it started to just spin.
Yes the dealer could of over torqued but with multiple people having same issue I believe the plug was faulty.

Went to website and for the 1330 engine I found the following plugs. MP-01 transmission plug, MP-02 oil reservoir plug and MP-18 1330 engine which this plug has the double O-rings. So I think that what is needed is the MP-02 & MP-18. I don't know what the transmission plug is. Others chime in their thoughts. Or is someone has ordered the gold plugs and know they fit correctly please tell us which one's you bought.

I purchased the mp-01 and mp-18 for my 2014 RTS.
It could be they engraved the plugs with the wrong model number.
The mp-02 is even bigger than the mp-01
mp-01 12mm
mp-02 14mm
Also there website search is not correct. There are not 3 drain plugs for the 1330 motor.
