oil pan modification

[hardtimes]

Look around. You will find different ideas/plugs for ‘fix’.
One type that has been available for years, is a plug with a drain valve built in. And it has a small ‘pipestub’ to attach a rubber drain tube.

Can be shut off/on easily and addresses the messy problem of oil changing. This plug just stays in place.
I can’t do pic here. But a search should find it.
