Oil Drain Valves from JS2K

I bought mine from JS2K.com, and love it. I've had this valve on multiple cars, and actually think it's a benefit that it drains slow. Even if you do take your car to a shop, it's better for it to drain slow, so they don't cut it short! If the engine is hot, then there will be oil up in the head that needs to drain down to the plug. The longer it takes for the pan to drain, the longer the oil from the head will have to drain to the pan.
I do worry about hitting road debris that might "remove" the valve, but that would just wind up being a new engine from insurance...

Hi, I happen to have the Fumitomo drain bolt and it works great! However my catch pan (has a nice design that allows me to pour it into my oil bucket I use to send off for recycling) sits too tall so I need to raise my S2K. Any recommended catch pans that you guys use that will slip through the clearance of a CR? Obviously turkey pan will work, but I want something better 
Naw don't think you came across as a dick, but I wish you could just point to me what you are using
There is no Walmart near where I am at but the local Autozone which is where I got my existing pan. The CR sits too low -- you guys mind sharing the brand of what you are using? I can just order that model online. Amazon has jack.

If your engine is damaged by you running over something, then it will be covered by insurance. They may raise your rates or cancel you, but they will cover it. Inusrance is not like a warranty, where they can deny coverage due to aftermarket modifications.

I've got a 6qt variant of this:

Looks identical to it. Autozone doesn't have the one I bought - mine might be Advanced Auto or Walmart. It goes under my S2000 that's tucking the tips of the front tires.
Think I have this one:

Insurance would cover that? I would highly doubt that especially if the car is lowered or if they look under the car and notice the valve.
Can your insurance deny a claim, if the car isn't supposed to be on the road because of mods? i.e. Running a test pipe in CA makes your car not public-road legal, if you wreck on say, a public highway, can they say "Well it shouldn't have been on the road to begin with?".

I guess they could say anything but they wouldn't dare deny a claim for any aftermarket part. If they could, OEM would be the only avenue for repair which will never happen.
