Question Engine oil drain plug mods???

I was wondering if anyone has modified/replaced their engine oil drain plug with something to make draining the oil easier that the stock plug?

I know I have seen the quick drains on here seems like, I have not used one on the PSD though. I do have one of sorts that I put on my diesel welding machine a few years back though. Got it at the airport here. Found out long ago the small airplanes have these T-handled quarter twist and lock to drain plugs on their motors. So I went and bought one there and used it on the welder. Sure makes it a lot easier to do with the hose attached on it. I have just been to afraid to put one on my truck with off roading some and knocking it off. I do figure it would be way cleaner to change the oil though.

Rowdy, That sounds like along the lines of what I am looking for. I just noticed under your post was several links for drain plugs. I will check them out also.

I've got a Fumoto valve on my truck, and have for over 80K miles. It makes draining the oil quick and easy. Many have expressed concern about hitting it when off road, or having someone drain their oil as a prank. Neither have ever happened, nor am I concerned about it happening.
