those K&N oil filters are $12. i buy the fram no slip ones for $5

Best to have engine warm first, makes the oil flow easier. Best to use a new gasket on the drain plug. Make sure the old gasket comes off the pan, and the surface is really clean.

Make sure the old filter gasket comes off the block, and the surface is really clean.

Make sure you put some new oil on the new filter gasket (use your finger to apply).

At home, I drive the car up on the edge of the curb, with the 2 driver's side tires, so I can slip under easy, and the drain hole is on the low side.

Does anybody know about the Quick Oil Drain Valve?

www.qwikvalve.com

I will probably get one for my vehicle. However, if somebody has already installed and give me more info for the item, I would really appreciate it.

Not something I would recommend fitting, just imaging going over a speed bump and knocking that tap off. I don’t think the engine would appreciate it.

shoot. you go into it blind once and it takes an hour. 5 minutes every other time. I do remember me cursing the firs time I removed my oil filter. like "wtf? its suposto to come out where!?!?" clank! nope.. Clank, NOPE!
just associate it with learning to tie your shoes.. the rabbit comes outa the hole, makes a loop, runs around a tree.... over some pipes gets oil in his eye, bangs his head... you get the idea.

Don't waste your time with that crap. You are just asking for something to go wrong. Keep the regular drain plug.

There's not much about the design that leaves it open to failure... other than bottoming out just right and ripping it and a chunk of the oil pan out. Myself, I stick with bolts, but I know a few people (including a couple mechanics) running these and not one has had a problem yet.
