talk about lazy....
I wouldn't do it. Even with the "locking" mechanism, there's always a chance a piece of debris or somthing could hit it, or the valve could move on big bumps causing it to open. Just spend the extra 2 seconds it takes to unscrew/screw in the drain plug....

I wouldn't buy it, but I don't see how using it is going to be SO risky.. ? Only thing I can think of is if you run over something that would scratch the oil pan, in which can the pan might break itself, so it doesn't really matter.. Assuming no accidents, seems safe enough to use

If they wanted to mess with your car and drain your oil, the same thing could be done with a 15mm socket in the same amount of time...
Looks convenient and pretty safe...the drain plug is on the back side of the oil pan so if something happened to hit it, it might pop the lever up but probably not turn it 90 degrees.

I don't even care, I still think it's stupid. It takes 4 seconds to get out your ratchet and an additional two to unscrew the drain plug, and it's not like it takes rocket science to torque it correctly...
anyways, draining the oil is the only part that takes a while, and with this valve, it'll take even longer because the opening is considerably smaller...good way to save time
