damn. are we getting that lazy that we can't unscrew a simple drain bolt? I wouldn't risk running one of these and accidentally clipping something on the road and all my oil pours out, destroying my motor. Just another thing to worry about if you ask me.

Nope can't happen. It takes two deliberate movements to open and close.

I have one as well. The only thing I can think of is if your car is lowered, you should probably put a bar running under it, just in case, but I really doubt anything would happen. Everyone tells me how sketchy it seems, but its only a little larger than a drain bolt. And Megatron, its not necessarily being too lazy to take a bolt out, its being too lazy to lift the car up everytime you need an oil change. Everything can be accessed while the car is on the ground!

Unnecessary complexity. I also reach the drain plug and filter without jacking up the car; got an aftermarket intake and no beer gut.
