my major gripe about the oil plug is after the flow drops off, you get that tiny stream of oil that splatters everywhere if even the slightest breeze catches it...If I had a garage I could work in, I wouldn't care, but since I have to do it in my driveway, having it drain through a hose directly into my oil catch pan would make my life that m uch easier. Not to mention someone overtightened my plug and broke the edges off it so it's gotta be replaced anyway...
