Did no one notice this thread is 3+ years old?

at least they didnt start up a new thread on it... like most others do.

If I put more miles on my car than I do (and still changed my own oil heehee), I'd get one of those. Looks like it would be very handy for anyone who changes oil frequently.

That is slick. I think I'll order one.
On a related note, my magnetic plug broke today.
Not sure how it happened, but I noticed a hairline crack at the base of the magnet, upon further inspection I found that it was broken.

half the fun is trying to get drain plug out quick enough before it runs down ur arm..i have dedicated clothes i wear because oil always shows up somewhere on your shirt:rofl2:
