Um if you're looking ahead, wouldn't it be just as easy to carry an
actual spare oil plug as it would be to carry a spark plug for that
purpose?  They're readily available, and cheap.  Or even just a short
M14 x 1.5 bolt?

I guess if you're out on the road and lose your oil plug and all you
have is an old spark plug, it's better than nothing.  But if you're
preparing a "kit" for emergencies, why not use something more
appropriate?
