Yeah, Thats what my toyota dealer told me 10 years ago and the parts guy used to just include them with the filter I bought from them. I now use the oil suction thingy to change oil. I haven't taken the drain plug off in over 4 years on my FD.

A what?

I was thinking of getting a quick oil drain valve. However, my money is better served elsewhere (i.e. food and rent) for now. http://www.quickoildrainvalve.com/

This is what I have..

http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...d+extractor.do

I've bought it from them about 6-7 years ago and been using it on my rotaries. Good thing is that filter is on the top so you don't have to go underneath. I also used this to change me rad fluid and such (via AST line).

You could get similar item thru other vendors.. I bought it from them because I could find it anywhere else back then..

Personally, this is best $80 I've spent to this date! And I highly recommend it.
