Yeah, I mean service on something broken, not maintenance. I just wonder if they would try to void your warranty for changing the oil drain plug.
They would have to prove the plug was the cause of the failure. Good luck to them unless the car was brought in with an empty oil pan.

I've heard horror stories of warranties being denied for weird reasons. As for them having to prove it. I think that's only if you have the money to take them to court and fight it.

Installed mine a week ago. Went in easy, and should be MUCH easier to do the oil change next time.

For sure it helps but unfortunately doesn't eliminate the mess. I am going to make a chute to catch and direct the oil so it doesn't drip onto the other parts next time.
I made a cute by cutting out the side of the largest size plastic fast food cup. Works pretty good.

Place a plastic zip lock bag over your filter then take it off. No more mess.

Until you drop the bag and the filter.
I hate when that happens! Gotta hold on to the filter.

My Lady bought a Ronin for me for Christmas. I plan on installing it Christmas afternoon on my new 2020 GT. I don't want to deal with a possible mess and replacing cheap plastic drain valves.
Every time you change your oil you are rolling the dice.
