Rob, the valve is tougher than the oil pan it's screwed into. It's far more likely you put a rock through your oil pan than to knock off a horizontally mounted valve that's above the very bottom of the pan. In other words, if something is going to get you, this ain't it...
Maybe the orientation of the drain plug has changed from the bottom to the side of the pan. But in past years having a valve stick down 1 inch below the bottom was a sure target. Thanks, Rodney for the information. I agree that off the side is a much more settling.
Yep, on the 6.7's the drain plug faces straight back. This makes for a huge mess without the valve as with 13 quarts of hot oil pushing, it can really get some distance!
