Oil Drain Plug?

I have seen on this forum where people have replaced the stock Oil Drain Plug and Water/Fuel separator drain plugs with aftermarket ones that allow you to drain fluids without tools, but now of course I can't find what they are called.
Can anybody help?

Thanks

It's called a Fumoto valve.

Several site sponsors carry them.

Thanks for the quick response, I am planning on getting one that I can get the spring clip to hold the release lever down. Anybody had any problems? Which is recommended, the one with the nipple or without? Also, anybody know the name of the HFCM drain plug modification?

Thanks

Here's a link to the updated HFCM drain plug. There are many other places to purchase from on the internet. Just do a search on the part #.

I just installed the fumoto drain valve and the HCFM drain plug yesterday. Very easy mods and should make routine maintenance quicker. My Fumoto drain valve didn't come with the hose clamp (to prevent accidental opening of the valve) but any 5/8" hose clamp (spring clamp) that you get at a hardware store will work.
