The subject is pretty self-explanitory. The reason I ask is that it could prevent a lot of stripped drain threads.

I imagine they would be ok if they don't melt. I honestly prefer metal on metal but suzuki went and used something like a 15/16" nut on my bike and as a result I have to use a wrench with too much leverage to install it.
I guess the product would have too be considered based on how it attaches to the engine as well as material. I'm gonna have a look at them when I'm at Crappy Tire tomorrow and will let you know what I think.

ps. Crappy Tire is the proper name for Canadian Tire as they don't have a good enough reputation to be using our country's name. They charge by piece work so you can run up a 9 hour labour bill in 3 hours with some unlicensed kid hacking at your car...

Nope, no luck at my parts store. I'll just have to use my torque wrench next time.

Re: Has anybody tried the Fram quick drain?
In my case my left arm is weak from a stroke and i am trying to make an important job a little easier--the one i saw was brass and had a cap that goes on it to ensure no leaks---then when you want to drain the sump, you remove the cap and screw a device that pushes the valve open to allow the oil to flow out--oh yes and this device has a hose on it about 6 inches long--but as i said i couldnt get one to fit--i tried it just to see if it was my eyes, but the threads were too coursesrivett said:

It has worked good so far. I've only changed the oil once since I have installed it. Very easy and quick. I can do the filter and oil in about 5 minutes. Best of all, I can change the oil even if the car is hot, since there is no touching of the drain bolt at all. If I can find one for the bike, I am going to get it.
