Oil Drain Plug

[Watkins Family <watbmv@xxxx>]

Not to sound like an advertistment for someone but Special-T-Auto sells 
a oil drain plug with a 17mm hex end on it so that you no longer need to 
find a correct male end. I just bought one and am waiting it's 
arrival....I do have the "snap-on" part that fits the OEM plug perfectly 
but it's alway a hassle finding the hole. Also has anyone tried the new 
FRAM plugs that have the oil drain hose. It seems like you simply twist 
on the drain hose and it releases the catch and starts to drain. I'm 
not sure which model number it is for the FRAM drain plug but it seems 
like a neat idea if it actually works. This would also eliminate having 
engine oil shooting out all over the rear frame member (I currently 
cover mine with aluminum foil when draining so I only have to take off 
the foil when done)
