I am not a fan for that reason but "IF" I were to use one it would be a Stahlbus unit. or if space allows the Dragon system.

I would used heat shrink tubing or a hose clamp for the hose. Snap it in the drain and forget it about it ever having a problem.

In a modern day engine where debris is not as much of an issue, It may not be as important but,,, I would still like to pull the plug and stick a magnet in the pan which is something I think these systems defeat.
Yea I think I am just going to put a new drain plug in and skip the valve. I don't change the oil frequently enough to get much benefit from the valve. Plus, since the car is lowered, I'd have to jack the car up anyway to reach the valve, meaning I might as well just keep the plug. The auto parts store didn't have a magnetic drain plug though. Any way I can make in magnetized?
