I also use an extension. Great method.I use a 3/8 extension bar 24 inches long. Easy to loosen and control the flow from a distance.

Hey, you must've worked on aircraft. We saw lot of such set up in fighter jets in the Air Force.I'm a nerd too, LOL! I'll get the Fumoto when it's available and probably do the same thing to it.
That’s now 5 that I’m aware of. Did you inspect the plastic nubs inside the oil pan to make sure they were intact?Never came back to this thread, but since it's back up - my safety-wired Ronin plug popped out of the pan on track in September. I've replaced with an OEM style plastic plug, no problems.
Understood.I wasn't able to look at them at the time (car was smoking hot), but will at next oil change. That was my concern. Plug seemed to seat and snug up well, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. I assume you had to replace the oil pan.
Zero. Different aftermarket plugs simply offer a cleaner solution to draining oil from the pan.This might be a noob question, but are there any concerns with just staying with the OEM drain plug?
Is the Ronin engagement metal? If so, reason number N to stick with Femco: plastic can't break anything on the car. Even if 100 to 1 or better odds, why take any chance.I wasn't able to look at them at the time (car was smoking hot), but will at next oil change. That was my concern.
