Default quick drain oil valve

does anyone here have any experience with those quick drain oil valves?
I ordered one that should be here friday to give it a shot, but I was just wondering if you guys had any feedback.

The Fumoto valve? I hear they are very nice. I can't ever get around to ordering one though.

yeah, I've heard they're wondrous.
So I ordered one the other night and I'll test it out soon.

I have one on my S and my last truck, love it! With 40K miles after install on the S I have had no problems. Makes changing oil easy. I just slide the oil pan under the car then reach in through the engine bay to flip the valve and spin off the filter.

I love it so much I bought one for my new truck but have not put it on yet. Thanks for the reminder, it's time to change oil in the truck.

yeah, last time I had it in the shop, I wanted to see if they could go ahead and change the oil (a little early, but I was there). They called me about an hour later and said it was too low to get it on the lift so they couldn't do it.
I didn't wanna have to deal with that again, so I just ordered this so I can do it nice and easy whenever I need it.

The oil on the S is so easy to drain I don't ever think about it.

what oil are you guys runnin?
I know that there are extensive threads about it, but I though I'd get your individual opinions on it and considering you're local (most of you), weather's the same, etc, etc, etc.
