Default Oil Drain bolt

That Valve thing looks pretty cool. But I'd be so afraid of it opening if I run over something. It says on the page, to pull over if you run over something and check the valve. But man that looks so cool.

Maybe I'll get D'Arcy to pick me up a Spoon drain bolt. I'm not going to drive to T.O. for one

Or maybe I'll wait till the autoshow!

Don't worry about it, I have had mine on for over 2 years and have had no problems.

Plus if you have a xbrace it's next to impossible for something to hit it. If you don't have a x-brace and you hit something, you would basically rip off your oil pan anyway....

there's another one that's popular.....fujitsu or something like that.

not sure what their purpose is, but lots of people seem to have aftermarket drain plugs.

makes oil changes easier...flip the switch, oil comes out. You don't even have to jack the car up....

Well I'd still have to jack the car up as I can't fit my oil catcher under the car, but it would be a lot easier with it.
