Very true. Or someone just turning the valve and draining your oil. But then, if there was a lock on it, you might as well not have a valve at all because it would take as long to remove the lock as to unbolt the 17mm bolt.
I think it's useless. It would do more harm than good.

Re: (litterbox)
this piece would give you even less ground clearance hanging off the back of the oil pan.
Can you imagine bashing this on the ground/speedbump/pothole???
Would be good for a catchcan though.

it appears this does have a lock position
when its locked it sits down in a little notch cut out, there for to open it u have to lift it up and turn, u cant open it wiht just turning, i was thinking about trying this out, something similar, my car is not near as long, and it doesnt stick out too low, doesnt seem bad to me, seem slike it would stick out about an inch and that is still enugg clearance bkuz teh regular drain plug sticks out only like 1/2 inch and its no where near the ground

Re: (ironcheftony)
For starters, I don't really see this being a ground clearance issue, enpecially considering the stock exhaust manifold would hang lower than this.
As for it being something I would invest in, I definately would not. I will trust a bolt that needs to be opend with a wrench rather than a valve that opens with a flick of a finger.

Re: (JDM-EJ1)
you guys are idiots it doesnt open with the "flick of a finger" it sits in a notch and u have to lift and than twist and its double selaed i have been using one for 3 years now and my cars has a no finger gap and i have had no problems....i change my oil once a month and this things great take 2 minutes to drain oil and its less messy the old oil plan bolt always fell into the bucket of old oil...this is much easier and takes less tipe and i will never strip the pan....and it also came with a ectra security clamp thingy that i havent used....trust me it doesnt just come lose. i live in boston and i have been through more snow than u can imagine and potholes and all. i have yet to have a problem after 3 years. i paid $25 and i would do it again. to open it you have to lift and twist it cant open by itslef at all. and it doesnt leak becuase its double sealed. .....idiots.

I'm not going to go any further into your post than this. How are we idiots? We like a little more safety for the life blood of our engines than a valve that you can open with your finger. Don't say that it is not a flick of the finger because it might as well be. I see no effort involved in opening this valve so I see no safety in it. I don't care how many times it is sealed. You sir are theidiot for believing everything you read online.

You are the moron for dropping a drain pulg in the drain pan. I don't get any oil on me when I change it.
Do you open this vlave with your fingers? Can you unscrew a drain plug with your fingers? Which is safer?
All in all you are a fat lazy **** that knows nothing about cars and your only reasoning is that we are idiots. YOu assume that none of us have ever seen one of these before and I would like to point out right now that assumtion is the root of all **** ups. For that, you sir are the idiot. Now crawl back into your cave and never come back you worthless troll.
