In fact, unless you change your oil more than once a month, it's no more overkill than checking your tire pressure or oil level regularly. Page 57 of the 6.0 Supplement manual:

It's too bad the damn thing is such a pain in the you know what to get to to drain.

Has anyone thought of making an adapter and valve for it? Kind of like the fumoto valve. All it would need to be is an elbow with the right threads to replace the drain plug, a valve, and maybe a hose nipple so a short piece of hose could be attached to it.

Many have thought of it. Few have done it.
