Well, isn't that just a happy little accident? Left-handed threads on a thermocouple are used to prevent it from being accidentally disconnected or loosened during operation. It's like a little extra security measure to make sure everything stays in place and your thermocouple can do its job effectively. Just remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little left-handed threads.

You could check with a service technician, but I can't imagine any oil plug being left-handed threads. There are more than enough idiots out there stripping right-handed threads by over-tightening them to take a chance on changing one brand to the opposite thread.
