i suppose. changing your oil yourself is good and all...but i can go down the street and get it done for 20 bucks in 20 minutes or less. so i don't change my oil anymore. i guess it 'looks' usefull...not that its hard to change your oil w/o it or anything....

i'm not trying to compare it to paying to get my oil changed, I want to start changing my own oil and was wondering if this made the process any easier and if anyone had used it on their Max before. I've read that some have stripped the drain plug before and this would help avoid that.

Had them on my 3 cars.
They allowed me change oil w/o any tools.
One drawback about these valves is that they drain oil slower then stock drain plugs.

We use these drain valves on our diesels at work. They work great.
