drain plug quick change

Is anyone using one of the drain plug quick change plugs.Where you remove stock drain plug and the aftermarket one is like a quick change coupler that you just snap a hose into and oil drains out,i know i probally went into to much detail but i wanted everyone to know exactly what i was talking aout,and if you have one how do you like it and where did you get it and what size to get for a 97psd

I don't use them, I looked at them but from what I saw it will stick up into the oil pan about half an inch, which means that you can not drain all of the old oil and quess where all of the sediment collects; thats right: on the bottom.

If you still want one, check out dieselman's site, I think he carries them. Also my local NAPA has them.
