These approvals were not granted easily and gaining them was a testimony to the quality and durability of Engine Oil Drain Valve.

It appears that the clocking of the valve is determined by when you run out of threads while tightening it, correct? Where is the one on your Mustang clocked, and is the tension on the spring enough so it doesn't matter? Down to just a blue car now.

Proven pretty darn reliable, about a $1 or two at the most. A good running engine with oil in it, about $$$$$$. How often do you change the oil to have to use a quick drain system? What's next a "dry-break" system for the gas tank filler because a quarter turn cap takes too much time to open and close?

From now on you are unable to fully drain the pan by about 1/8" ??? I think of the crap that could collect over time.

The bolt always ends up in the hot oil when I take it off. This way, no bolt to lose. 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie, 73 Cuda Previous mopars: 62 Valiant, 65 Fury III, 68 Fury III, 72 Satellite, 74 Satellite, 89 Acclaim, 98 Caravan, 2003 Durango Only previous Non-Mopar: Schwinn Tornado

Granted, I've never really had people crawling under my cars trying to figure out what oil drain plug I had, but something with a little security makes sense. I'll admit, I do get tired of having 5 cars all with different size drain plugs and not having the mental facilities to remember which car has what.
