Installed this valve the very first time I changed my oil. It makes it so easy. And when I buy new oil filters the guys at the auto shop give me wild looks when I tell them I don’t need the crush washer. :D

Hopefully yours doesn’t leak… Woke up one morning to oil all over my garage, the valve was closed but I guess it failed. Replaced it with the traditional bolt and washer, never had a problem since. Just get one of those magnetic oil change tools to take the drain bolt off.
Yeah, mine started leaking after I hit it with something on the road, unfortunate placement of the drain bolt on my civic. Idea is cool I agree, but it introduces more ways for a fail.
22k miles so far… knocks on wood
