lol I assumed it was a Fumoto valve ... yeah those things are pretty nice. But it's not too difficult to do a clean oil change without a valve. One just needs a little practice using the right methods.
The key is the angle of the car on jackstands, drain plug removal method, and any relevant mods affecting the drain flow (like aftermarket undershroud opening or the Arc cooling fins I installed on the bottom of my oil pan). I routinely change my oil when it's hot - no gloves and no issues with spills or messes if done right.

![]() I was wondering why the drain plug was so damn tight the last oil change I did ... it was cause I let the dealer do the previous oil change while the car was in for warranty work ![]()
